A '''mime''' mimics; imitates a person by acting out using bodily movements and shows emotions by using facial expressions. Mimes do not wear masks. They can paint their faces, but for the purpose of letting their facial expressions stand out, as well as telling a story with body movements. A '''pantomime''' will act without words, but with gestures and bodily movements to tell a story. During the first century BC pantomime was used as an art. Usually while performing a pantomime the actor would wear a mask.
