What are the imaginative arts?

        Art is any form of human expression, whether in physical movement of the body, a stroke of a brush or pen, an uttered dramatic cry, a flow of melodic sound, or a whispered fairy tale.  Art is about imagination, tapping into the Divine unending source of creativity and forging a new path of expression and truth.  The imaginative arts blend stories with mime and dance and song, as well as incorporate abstract thought and movement along with instruments such as masks, props, boxes, and flags.  We delve into the world of fantasy to reveal the heart of the child in each of us that we may see and believe what is truly real. 

        Mime is our primary art form, and it provides the means to integrate other forms of art, producing an extraordinary sense of something quite different.  Mime can be traced back to the early days of human existence.  It is an ancient art form that has set the stage upon which theater and dance now flourish.  Mime is not simply about being trapped in an invisible box.  It goes beyond the illusionary and embodies the core substance of our humanity.  Merge that with elements of dance, drama, music, story, and tangible art, and the result is "imaginative" art.
