Need ideas for my mime performance-WHAT ON EARTH SHOULD I DO?

Question

It has to be pretty basic but still work. I have just started doing drama, like everyone else in my year, and this is the first thing we have to do in front of the class.

-it is an individual performance

-it is 2-3 minutes

-a basic, general task

-preferably without any other characters implied in it

-has to include a beginning, then a complication and then some sort of ending-whether it resolves the complication or not

-characterization is important

Answer 1

Well one thing i always see on tv is when they are trapped in the box and when there going down the stairs and walking the dog.That's what i would do but u know I'm not really a mime so I don't know it sorry.

Answer 2

The first thing I thought of when I finished reading your problem is to bbq.

You could start off preparing the bbq pit, the food, all that jazz, the complication could be the food/pit catching on fire, and the ending could be that the food is all burnt.

I bet that'd be really complicated to pull off though....

Sorry it's a lame answer!

It's all I could think of...
