Rob Mermin trained with legendary mime Marcel Marceau and has performed in European circus, theater, TV and film for 40 years. Vermonters know him as the founder of the international company, Circus Smirkus. After Mermin was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2014, he began developing methods for coping with a movement disorder. He applied the principles of pantomime: visualization, body language, nonverbal communication, articulation of gesture and creative use of imagery and space to develop techniques of intentional movement. He has adapted this awareness to help others with Parkinson's.

Lamoille Valley Osher Lifelong Learning (OLLI) will feature Mermin this Wednesday at 1:00 pm at the Stowe Theater, 464 Mountain Road. Doors open at 12:30. There is a fee of $8 for this presentation for non OLLI members.
