Mime Workshop with Joylyn Secunda

This workshop includes movement technique, collaborative group exercises, and embodied writing prompts to support students in creating their very own mime pieces. Our immersion in mime helps theatre artists working from all styles and approaches make clear, physical choices for the creation of environment, character, and story. The workshop will also explore conventions and aesthetic approaches that help the audience interpret and appreciate visual theatre. The pedagogy draws on Joylyn Secunda’s performance experience especially in mask theatre, mime, and puppetry, as well as intensive studies in corporeal mime, pantomime, clown, and dance.
