How to Pick a Flower in Mime

Remember Marcel Marceau the father of modern mime? He had a very flower way of doing things very round. When he approached a flower it would be very big, pick it, smell it, and all good things. As mime got more progressive and worked sort of in a more casual atmosphere, you don't have to do all the flowery stuff unless you want to. You can be more casual like just go for it. I'm going to pick my hand. Now, watch this little movement. I'm going to take it from my wrist. That's the pick. Now I've got my flower. It's beautiful. I look at it. Of course, you have to smell it to make sure that it's a flower.
