默劇教會劇場演員用肢體溝通如同說話溝通一樣的輕鬆。 在劇場的演出是需要在發展角色時充份刻劃角色的，包括走路方式、身體的行為模式和所有可以讓觀眾感到角色真實存在的存在感，所以就會需要默劇的清楚、乾淨的肢體表達，以刻畫鮮明的角色。
許多演員不會肢體的表達，只會用聲音來做溝通與表達; 許多歌手在舞台上時，肢體也是僵硬的。但透過學習默劇，表演人員將會學習在舞台上如何放鬆肢體，可以學習適當的手勢動作與學習各種角色模擬的基礎訓練，以面對在舞台上所發生的各種狀況。也會學習最有效的移動方式：什麼時候該做手勢，什麼時候該逗留在原地…以及學習如何在腦中建構一幅巨大而清晰可見的想像 ; 尤其在現今的大劇場裡，是必要的。
所有默劇技巧訓練的目的，是為了讓身體的每一個分開的部分在各種方向的可能下獲得控制，所以當你想要做各種角度的動作時，只要想做就能做到，無論如何演員來說要維持身體的姿勢是很必要的，所以在一個空間裡，我們所想像的身體動作是必須要能被表演出來的，所以就必須要做許多的訓練與練習，才能達到這個目的。
MIME AND THE PERFORMER
Mime teaches the theatre performer to communicate physically as well as vocally. Performance in theatre demands skill in developing full characterizations including the character’s walk, physical behavior, and general physical presence, as well as clear and expressive gesture. Many actors can’t move and can only communicate vocally; most singers are notoriously stiff. With the study of mime, performers learn to be physically relaxed on the stage, they learn to gesture, and they experience the basis of the kinds of characterization that the varied situations in all theatre demand. They learn economy of move. ment: when to gesture, and when to remain still. And, they learn to project a large clear image; this is vital, particularly in the large theatres of today. The aim of all mime technique exercise is to gain control of every separate part of the body in every possible direction, so that whatever movement one wants to make can be made, whatever physical posture is necessary for a character can be sustained, whatever physical image in space is necessary can be performed.
