P 640 14 "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.
