Welcome to the Atelier des Mimes Berlin!

Atelier No. 2 (spring 2014) and No. 4 (spring 2015) have led to a stage production each: "Bar jeder Hoffnung" & "Clan Destin".

 

The aim of this Atelier is the introduction into the fabulous world of corporeal mime (also known as Etienne-Decroux-Technique), which can serve as an autonomous art from as well as a very in-depth basic training for other performing arts.

Besides the training in this very specific and fascinating movement technique, a lot of focus is given to the implementation in improvisation, composition and play.

 

This Atelier is dedicated to performers with professional aspirations and zestfulness and passion for a physical and profoundly meaningful theatre. The aim is a transformation of the craftsman on stage towards presence, precision, playfulness, impulsivity and virtuosity in shape and rhythm.

This Atelier receives active support by the Mimecentrum Berlin  is cooperating with "die Etage", Berlin school for the performing arts and feels itself related to the schools dedicated to coporeal mime in the USA, Barcelona, Paris and Cologne.
