>GMI summer school in 2014

In summer 2014 Gregg Goldston, Haruka  Morijama and Eric Wilcox have been teaching a  two weeks intensive in Berlin. It was well  recieved and a big jump for all students. The  students have been coming from Italy, USA,  China and Russia and of course from Germany.  The final performance was open air and have  been in Mellow park and many guests enjoyed  the teachers and students showing their scenes.  Most of the participants have been already  experienced mimes – some even with  performing experience. Going though the  curriculum they created group and solo plays  and got the opportinity to  receive feedback. The  students enjoyed the  hard  work in a pleasent environ-  ment and good social life. 

>Imagine now

"Imagine! Now!" is  wordless theater that let you forget time and  space and widens your imagination. The  performance starts with slapstick to break  the ice. The actors introduce facets of  relationships in short vignettes – the first are comic but they move to poetic. Also the style of mime acting changes frequently. From the modern style it switches to the 1900 style of  literary pantomime and moves forward to  satirical and even grotesque. The dramatic  climax is reached by showing conceptually  the cruelty of war just by light projection on  one actor while he projects his thoughts to  the audience. “MMR“ present situations and  gestures that are never purely aesthetic but  are movement phrases that pull to an inner  authenticity. Saturday August 15^th at 8 pm.

>Dresden mime festival 2014

The 32nd International Mime Festival Dresden  took place from 6-9. November 2014. With  many satisfied guests, artists, paticipants,  spectators and organizers, this  festival joins the long portrait  gallery of Dresden Mime Festival. Eric Wilcox prepared with his stage  presence workshop on the theme  of the grotesque acting before that  was examined in detail on the next  day by OPS theater from  St.Petersburg. The festival was  coordinated by Jan Romberg. 

>the studio

The place we found is a sportsclub  located in a huge forest-park in  Berlin. The park is called  Wuhlheide and even has its own  railway company. The SJC Arena is located in this  forest but its still in Berlin and  easy to reach with local transport.  There is much space for outdoor  training. Besides mime you can swim or even  get an outerspace training!

>final performance

It is not only a good tradition but also necessary  and mostly the wish of the students to present  themselfs a public and local audience. The  teachers present their art and the students  what solo and group performances they  developed.   This makes all the rehearsals and sessions more real and therefore, raises the motivation. An  intesive theater workshop without final  presentation would be incomplete.
