'Mime is the art of creating the illusion of reality'- Claude Kipnis

Have you ever watched someone performing mime and wondered how do they do that?,

Are you looking for an exciting new skill for a talent show piece or to amaze friends and family?

Or do you simply want to learn how to create the ‘magic’ of mime?

In this one-time acting class, you will learn what mime is and the very first starting points of how to perform it. From what ‘placing’ is, to how to show an audience where invisible objects are, and the dynamics (height, width, depth, weight) of an invisible box.

Don’t worry you don’t need any prior mime, or even acting/performing experience, to take part in this fun, active class. 

Costumes and white gloves are always welcome too, but they are not a necessary requirement.

The class will start with an especially created warm-up (and an explanation about why it is still important to warm up, even though we are not interacting with real objects), before learners will learn how to show there are invisible, imaginary objects right in front of them.

*I also offer an adaptation of this class as a one-to-one private class for extra focused learning, and we can discuss the learner's mime persona, costume and work through some performance ideas if you would like to. Please message me with a request for a private class time.

I look forward to seeing you in class.............and don’t forget to bring your invisible, imaginary boxes with you too! 

**I love teaching on Outschool and fully prepare to be ready to teach every class I offer. So classes will go ahead whether they are full, half full, quarter full, or have just one learner (who gets the benefit of a one-on-one lesson for a fraction of the cost)!**
