Melodrama and Modern Mime are two different types of drama they both also have some similarities.melodrama is a genre where people use extra facial expressions to express a feeling and the actors can Project and Articulate as well where in the modern mime the performers cannot use any words to express their feeling and that makes them unable to break the 4th wall but they can use hand gestures and body movement to communicate with their audience . Usually melodrama is all about love stories or good winning over evil and it has 6-7 characters maximum but mime is more about entertaining the audience with its unusual genre and the performers flexibility with their body and modern mime has 4-5 characters on stage at a time.these types are pretty similar since they both allow the actors to move the body and use all the other elements of a drama theatre(props,light and sets) but they are also different since they both have different way entreating and communicating with the audiance.I think Modern Mime and Melodrama is more similar to each othe
