Homemade Mime R.I.P.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m sitting across the desk from Milton Supman aka Soupy Sales to see about getting my mime company, Homemade Mime, on national television.\u00a0 It seems strange that this once popular kid show host famous for throwing pies in people\u2019s faces is now the head of children\u2019s programming at NBC or maybe it was ABC, but he is.<\/p>\n

Soupy flips through Homemade Mime\u2019s black publicity portfolio, as I explain,\u201cWe\u2019ve played tons of schools, colleges, theatre conferences, we taped a few segments for the PBS kid\u2019s show, Studio See, and Eddie and I performed at the Theatro Del Nino in Puerto Rico for a week.\u00a0 And we\u2019re funded by the National Endowment and the South Carolina Arts Commission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, yeah, looks good.\u00a0 Lots of press.\u201d\u00a0 But he looks concerned.\u00a0 \u201cUh, how do we put mime on TV?\u00a0 People will think the sound\u2019s broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use music.\u00a0 We have a piano player.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh,\u201d the concept dawns on him.\u00a0 \u201cOkay, tell you what,\u201d he says closing the portfolio.\u00a0 \u201cWhy don\u2019t you come up with let\u2019s say six scenarios and we\u2019ll see about getting \u2018em on the air.\u201d<\/p>\n

After my meeting with Soupy, I\u2019m floating down Fifth Avenue in my euphoric bubble so proud of myself.\u00a0 Homemade Mime is going gangbusters.\u00a0 Crazy I know, but the mime duo, Shields and Yarnell, not only have a national TV show, but they\u2019ve appeared on Sonny and Cher, Red Skelton<\/em>, and even The Tonight Show<\/em> with Johnny Carson.\u00a0 And because of their popularity mime is suddenly cool.\u00a0 This could be it\u2014our big break.\u00a0 This plus the national tour we\u2019ve recently been offered could really skyrocket us.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s odd, but a couple of years ago I\u2019d never have dreamt I\u2019d be a professional mime.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t plan on being a mime.\u00a0 It just happened.\u00a0 Mad Mountain Mime, a troupe consisting of three guys, two mimes, and one singer\/guitar player, came through the University of South Carolina.\u00a0 They gave a workshop in the theater department which I took because I was curious and it was free.\u00a0 After the workshop, Charlie, the head of the troupe approached me.\u00a0 \u201cHey, how\u2019d you like to perform with us tonight?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cReally?\u00a0 What do I do?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cMeet us at the Russell House at six.\u00a0 We\u2019ll go over your part.\u00a0 Then you\u2019ll perform with us.\u201d\u00a0 And I did.<\/p>\n

I have absolutely no recollection of what I did, but I do remember one piece they did was about being addicted to pills, Timmy, the guitar player, sang Amazing Grace and his voice had so much depth and feeling it was like having a religious experience.\u00a0 And at some point, Charlie did a backward flip in slow-motion where he actually appeared to be suspended in midair.\u00a0 I\u2019d never seen anything like it.<\/p>\n

Looking around at the rapt faces of the audience, they too were spellbound.\u00a0 I was so moved by the experience I spent the next two summers training with them at Florida State University in Tallahassee.\u00a0 That\u2019s where I met Eddie, the male mime in Homemade Mime.\u00a0 Eddie is strikingly handsome but not in a conventional way.\u00a0 His features are somehow heightened.\u00a0 He\u2019s also tall with a dancer\u2019s body and has the best mime technique around.\u00a0 He\u2019s always practicing always striving for excellence and I love that about him.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Patty, the other female mime in our troupe was in the theater department with me at the University of South Carolina and also studied with Mad Mountain Mime at FSU.\u00a0 Patty\u2019s petite, full of energy with an amazingly expressive open face and a shock of short wavy red hair.\u00a0 And the three of us put together this mime troupe.\u00a0 Then we added Michael, a classically trained pianist, to accompany us.\u00a0 Michael\u2019s small, childlike, and radiates joy.\u00a0 He looks like an adorable cherub.<\/p>\n

\"\"

And since Homemade Mime\u2019s doing so well I figured why not make some calls and accompany my husband on one of his buying trips for his ever-expanding boutique clothing empire to New York. \u00a0And that\u2019s how I ended up getting a meeting with Soupy.<\/p>\n

Once back in South Carolina I head to the ballet studio we rent in Greenville for a pittance from my friend Rhonda, an ex-prima ballerina with the National Ballet in DC.\u00a0 When I unlock the back door to the ballet studio and switch on the light I\u2019m greeted by the smells of rosin, sweat, determination, and grit.\u00a0 The ballet bars, giant mirrors, and ceiling fans seem to be patiently awaiting my arrival.<\/p>\n

I love getting up every morning, going to the studio, and working on the craft. First, we spend a couple of hours practicing our mime technique.\u00a0 We do exercises ranging from isolation work to juggling, which I suck at.\u00a0 Mime movements must be precise and exacting.\u00a0 You\u2019re creating objects out of nothingness.\u00a0 You have to literally train your brain to see the space as three-dimensional and fill it.\u00a0 Next, we rehearse our pieces and work on developing new material.\u00a0 We pride ourselves in being very economical with our movements.\u00a0 None of this outdated flowery Marcel Marceau stuff.\u00a0 We\u2019re pure American Mime.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I\u2019m excited to tell Eddie and Patty the good news.\u00a0 I know they\u2019ll be thrilled and amazed.\u00a0 Once they arrive I say, \u201cOkay, you two, ready?\u00a0 I\u2019ve got great news.\u201d\u00a0 I then proceed to tell them about my meeting with Soupy Sales.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m waiting for all the cheers, high-fives, and accolades for our good fortune, but instead, I\u2019m met with blank stares.\u00a0 Stares that seem amplified when I look at their reflections in the ceiling to floor dance mirrors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoooooo we have to come up with the bits?\u201d Eddie slowly asks like he can\u2019t quite comprehend the concept.<\/p>\n

\u201cYep, that\u2019s the deal,\u201d I say trying to ignore his obvious apprehension.\u00a0 And once again I\u2019m met with silence.\u00a0 Patty appears to be biting her lip while Eddie sits cross-legged staring at a scuff mark on the hardwood oak floor like he\u2019s gazing into a crystal ball for the answer until he finally asks,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we getting paid?\u201d<\/p>\n

Shoot somehow in all my excitement I completely forgot to ask Soupy about money.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, um\u2026I\u2019m not really sure,\u201d I stammer, \u201cbut I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be fair and we\u2019ll be on national TV.\u00a0 Who knows maybe we\u2019ll win an Emmy like Shields and Yarnell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another uncomfortable silence hangs in the air.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatty?\u201d\u00a0 I ask.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m game,\u201d she shrugs in her nonchalant way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat. \u00a0Eddie? What\u2019s up?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u201d he says pausing before adding with a straight face, \u201cI\u2019ve decided to become a ballet dancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWait?\u00a0 What?\u201d I say starting to laugh, but stop myself when I realize he\u2019s as serious as a dead man. \u00a0\u201cUm\u2014Eddie you\u2019re kidding, right?\u00a0 I mean what about the tour?\u00a0 I mean\u2014 you\u2019re in your mid 20\u2019s.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it a little late to be a ballet dancer?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u201d he continues, \u201cthe ballet company in Knoxville\u2026\u201d\u00a0 Oh, shit.\u00a0 I should have known.\u00a0 We performed in Knoxville and took a class with the ballet company.\u00a0 The annoying extremely overweight ballet director, in-between scolding her painfully thin anorexic dancers for being fat, had gushed all over Eddie.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, you\u2019re a natural.\u00a0 Oh, your form\u2019s so precise.\u00a0 Oh, you\u2019ve got the perfect body.\u00a0 Oh, oh, oh.\u201d\u00a0 I should have realized she was up to no good\u2014plotting behind my back.\u00a0 My ears are starting to buzz, but I manage to hear Eddie say,<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve offered me a scholarship to train and dance with the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

I want to grab Eddie by the shoulders and shake him. \u00a0\u201cAre you out of your mind?\u00a0 What\u2019s wrong with you?\u00a0 What have we been doing here?\u00a0 What have we been working so hard for?\u00a0 So you can be an effing ballerina?\u201d<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m too stunned.\u00a0 I\u2019m honestly floored.\u00a0 I can\u2019t even begin to wrap my brain around this.\u00a0 I mean it makes no sense.\u00a0 I just want to cry or scream or die.\u00a0 I thought Eddie and I were a team.\u00a0 We were the nucleus of the troupe.\u00a0 Lots of times Eddie and I would work together as a duo.\u00a0 We even went to Puerto Rico together for a week and performed.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Stephen (Eddie) Cole and Jill Dalton<\/p><\/div>\n

Claude Kipnis, another well known French mime, had offered me a place in this company when I did a workshop with him but did I take it?\u00a0 No!\u00a0 No, I didn\u2019t.\u00a0 Because I was committed and loyal to Homemade Mime.\u00a0 For the past two-plus years I put all my time, energy, and love into this troupe.<\/p>\n

Every afternoon after rehearsal I\u2019d head to the Metropolitan Arts Council where I\u2019d spend a couple of more hours on the phone getting us gigs.\u00a0 And I never once took extra money for that.\u00a0 We all got paid the same.\u00a0 We were a team.\u00a0 All for one and one for all.\u00a0 We were working, traveling, getting great responses, and making good money.\u00a0 We were thriving.\u00a0 We were going places.<\/p>\n

In my stupor, I don\u2019t even remember what else was said.\u00a0 I just remember feeling devastated like the morning after a hurricane\u2019s blown through destroying all your belongings.\u00a0 Stunned I watch beautiful, talented, hardworking, magical Eddie\u2019s silhouette, front-lit by the morning sun, walk out the door of the studio like he\u2019s walking into the light.\u00a0 And just like that Abracadabra Eddie disappears like some magic trick.<\/p>\n

Patty, always the cheerful optimist wants to do the tour and the TV stuff.\u00a0 Michael, our piano player, feels he can\u2019t leave his boyfriend to go on tour, but I figure okay we can replace him.\u00a0 But everything is null and void if we don\u2019t have a replacement for Eddie.\u00a0 I put out calls to audition male mimes, but each one is more horrible than the next.\u00a0 Too short.\u00a0 Not Eddie.\u00a0 Too unattractive.\u00a0 Not Eddie.\u00a0 Bad technique.\u00a0 Not Eddie.\u00a0 Everyone we see sucks.\u00a0 I\u2019m so discouraged and sad.\u00a0 I feel such a sense of betrayal and abandonment.\u00a0 I\u2019m heartbroken.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t understand.\u00a0 And all these opportunities we worked so hard for disappear in an instant like some covert assignment from Mission Impossible.<\/p>\n
