Learn to Think, Create, Express with the Body
Our classes and workshops are based on the unique methods of Corporeal Mime – "the art of the thinking body". Participants will discover tools to convert everyday actions into stage-worthy expressions which resonate with the soul. Whether you are an actor, dancer or artist looking for a new form of artistic expression or simply someone who is curious about the expressive power of the body, you’re welcome to join.
