Adventures in Mime and Space, with Rob Mermin
Sunday, Sept. 28th, 7:00 p.m.
North End Studios
294 No. Winooski Ave., Burlington
$18/$15 students and seniors

Rob Mermin, the founder of Circus Smirkus, and student of the legendary French mimes Marcel Marceau and his teacher Etienne Decroux, will present his memories of training with the masters. Mermin will demonstrate techniques of the art of pantomime and will share rare film clips of Marceau and Decroux performing and teaching, bringing to life the essence of what Marceau called “the eloquent art of silence.” The legacy of Marceau encompasses not only his virtuosity in mime, but also his work in the French Resistance saving Jewish children from the horrors of WWII. Marceau’s life as artist and humanitarian earned him the respect of the world.

Mermin will lead a separate pantomime workshop from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. at North End. Walk-ins welcome!

Tickets for both events will be available at the door. Doors open at 2:30 for the workshop, and 6:00 for the show.
