Every day there are classes from 10 am until 10 pm. There are two breaks for eating and recovering. The first hour is an intense warm up. Later we will care for different mime techniques, grotesque theater, improvisation theater, creativity techniques, group plays, dynamic body, writing, music and movement. During the workshop you will visit Rome two times. Once for artistic work and inspiration and once for pleasure and sight seeing.>The tradition
Summer is the perfect time to take care of mime and to delevop yourself in a workshop. If you are living on mime or supporting yourself with other jobs - in summer you are off and while there are few times during the year you can go deeply into it in this intense workshop. There has been famous summer school is Gambia, OH by Gregg Goldston and Stuttgart by Peter Makal and Giselle Schwenck and since many years in Warsaw by Bartlomiej Ostapczuck. The Berlin tradition is shorter. In 2014 Gregg Goldston was running it together with Haruka Morijama and Eric Wilcox. So, this will be the third edition here but with the spirit and experience of a long period.>The objectives
The aim of mime>summer is training of stage acting and waking up the body thinking. Our body is an incredible space of knowledge about human being. Using it for art and in a more formal way by mime language brings new possibilities for creation of a virtual life not only by clear gestures, poses and stage presence, but first of all by emotions and drama themes expressed as a stage character.

The workshop started with the basics and then progressed through elementary playing tasks to first attempts at creating a stage character.>mime
Mime art is expansive and challenging, profound and rewarding. These ideas are organized as skills in lessons focused in exploration with improvisations and direct feedback.>play writing
We are mimes for the stage and on the stage and even made by the stage. And all the technique will not satisfy our audience without a well written play. It takes a long experience but there are some simple rules and smart hints you can get here.>grotesque mime
Eric Wilcox is an established, experienced and successful expert in buffoon theater. He wrote, directed and performed for and with the San Francisco Buffoons. It is a grotesque theater style that can give a lot to the mime performer. The buffon performer lowers is own status, blames himself and plays right into the face of the audience. But he also has a earthy quality. Even if you decide to not use the style itself later on stage you will get a better knowledge and feeling of mime.
