Breath
Mice have very small respiratory systems, this means they breathe very hard and fast in order to get oxygen into their bodies; Watching videos some mice have constant pumping/thrusting motion all the time. Mice breathe out of their noses and rarely open their mouths for air. I have found this by expanding and contracting my diaphragm in quick succession.
Rhythm of life
Fast and slightly frantic. Always on the look for a predator approaching whilst simultaneously looking for food. Laban effort: flick - changes focus within half a second. A mouse will be constantly on edge, they are definitely flight and not fight and will assess a situation and then react instantly by probably running away.
Centre of Gravity
A mouse's centre lies in it's four paws, they move around with a wide surface area contacting the floor and equally spread their body weight between their four legs.
Spine
Some species of mice have a slightly undulating spine that curves upwards creating a bump in the back. This creates a more arched position when they move around. It slightly moves up and down when they move disappearing and reappearing depending on the speed of their movement.
How it views the world
Everything is huge for a mouse, a blade of grass can be bigger than it's entire body, when a mouse looks upwards it sees everything towering down on it, every creature is bigger than it and a mouse is prey to many different animals. Mice see the world through two lenses, a survivor and a scavenger. Mice don't take down other animals and eat them they take whatever they can whenever it is available. Mice live day to day never thinking about the future only about what is right in front of them.
