"Ordinary People"
By Shirley Stevens
Far from what the title may imply,
this picture was anything but ordinary.
The talent that such a picture evokes
from otherwise drab people like Donald
Sutherland and- Mary Tyler Moore is
incredible. I almost didn't see the picture
because of Mary Tyler Moore, who bored
me for years as the thirty-year-old-and
getting-older ingenue, Mary Richards.
The lion's share of praise must necessar
ily be accorded to young Timothy Hutton
for portraying, with such vividness, a
youth in emotional turmoil.
The story does deal with ordinary,
albeit, hidden-from-view events in the
lives of an upper middle-class American
family. The choice of " Ordinary People"
as the title is a bit ironic since the family
in question is obviously of the upper
social strata, but the events which
concern them cut across all strata and
elicit common, human-ordinary, if you
Mime Dan Kamin, who since 1970 has performed extensively at colleges and
theatres across the country, has developed a unique mime style that is an
entertaining blend of comic parody, satire and drama. He has created four films on
the art of mime and has produced several specials on mime for public television.
Dan Kamin demonstrated an early interest in the magical qualities of illusion
as a magician in his early teens, performing sleight-of-hand tricks at children's
parties. It was while he was a design student at Carnegie-Mellon University that
Kamin first became intrigued with the pantomime antics of silent film stars
Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. As Dan says, "It seemed to me that they used
the precise skills and surprises of the magician to create, not magic tricks, but a
magical kind of comedy based on their physical techniques." On campus was a
mime, Jewel Walker, who had studied with the creator of the techniques and
illusions of modern mime, Etienne Decroux. For two years Dan Kamin studied
with Walker and, following graduation, continued his mime training, supplement
ing it with workshops in dance therapy, body awareness and yoga. "I had a lot of
work to do," explains Kamin, "Magic mainly involved the head and hands, but in
mime every part of the body must be trained.
Dan Kamin will perform on campus February 19, 1981 at 12:15 p.m. in the
Auditorium. A workshop is also scheduled, but nothing is certain at this time.
