默剧（Mime artist），模仿剧的意思。

法国现代默剧（Modern Mime）大师Etienne Decroux 定义默剧为「静默的艺术（the Art of Silent） 」。 默剧是界乎舞蹈与戏剧之间的一种表演艺术。演出者基本不用文本语言，只以自己身体的形体动作，表现出不同的情绪、情节与故事。在很多现代默剧表演中，演出者甚至不用任何道具，只以动作让观众感受幻想中的无形道具。有些默剧艺术家为令观众注意力集中在其身体而非面部表情，会戴上素白的面具演出。70年开始，后现代默剧（Post-Modern Mime）在表演时大多加入说唱、道具、电脑投影等。

A mime or mime artist (from Greek μῖμος, mimos, "imitator, actor") is someone who uses mime as a theatrical medium or as a performance art, involving miming, or the acting out a story through body motions, without use of speech. In earlier times, in English, such a performer would typically be referred to as a mummer. Miming is to be distinguished from silent comedy, in which the artist is a seamless character in a film or sketch.
