From Mime to Sign

From Mime to Sign is a visually rich guide that uses over 1,000 photographs to illustrate how natural gestures, mime, and facial expressions can become the basis for learning sign language. Gil Eastman, a drama professor, performer, storyteller, and multiple Emmy winner, shares his unique and successful approach to teaching and learning this very visual language. This book is not just about learning sign language but also about understanding the expressive power of non-verbal communication. Eastman's method is designed to make learning sign language accessible and engaging. By focusing on the natural gestures and expressions we use every day, he bridges the gap between everyday communication and the structured language of sign. The book is a testament to Eastman's expertise and his ability to make complex concepts easy to understand and apply.
