Mime classes in Berlin
The body always speaks
Professional training in body language, Mime Corporel, mime and stage presence. Mime is the craft of making the essential visible. For actors, teachers, and anyone who wants to be present, clear and readable in front of others.
“In mime, everything is possible. No place and no time is too far away to be brought into the here and now within the blink of an eye. Filling that freedom is the art of the mime.”
We communicate all the time, even in silence. Posture, gesture and expression decide how we are read. In my workshops and coaching sessions I pass on what more than 20 years on stage have taught me.
The basis of my work is Mime Corporel Dramatique (after Étienne Decroux): the grammar of the body, alongside the techniques and principles of mime. You might want to deepen an artistic practice, grow together as a team or work on your own presence. In each case you learn to use the body deliberately, as an instrument.
Discover the art of stillness.
Mime workshops for beginners, advanced students and anyone drawn to theatre. These sessions are not only about technical perfection. They are about the pleasure of expression.
