‘Making the Invisible World Visible’ –

an exploration into the silent world

of Mime and Physical Theatre

Mime artist Stuart Luis has appeared on the front cover of the iconic TIME magazine posing as a French Mime Artist photographic model, (referencing the sad loss of the master of mime Marcel Marceau) and has also performed on the BBC The Late Edition show as a French Weather Reporter and the Oxford University award winning series ‘The English Channel’ as Jacko the Mime. He has appeared in feature films such as Blade 2, as well as numerous TV commercials. Television appearances range from teaching mime on The Big Breakfast, a ‘come to life’ human statue in Red Dwarf to being encased in plastic robotic mannequin costumes for the Randall & Hopkirk Series 1&2.

In this energetic two day mime workshop we will study physical and corporeal mime exercises bringing awareness and connection to our body, opening and expanding our physical expression. We will learn the classical mime illusion techniques, mime walks, emotions and postures, slow motion movement, balance, fixed point, improvisation, storytelling, other things….. oh and lots of fun. The workshop will culminate devising and performing, where we will have the opportunity for constructive feedback and sharing in a sympathetic atmosphere where we all learn from each other.

This workshop will take place at the Osborne Hotel, South Street, Valletta. The price for two full days, with lunch and coffee/tea in the morning is €50.

Bookings are limited to 20 places and can be made on Creative Island website: www.creativeisland.com.mt/events/corporeal-mime-workshop, www.mimespace.co.uk
