mimescape and dubai

As the winter grinds on the mime performers at mimescape remember fondly their mime performances in Dubai December 2009.
Yet again they used their excellent mime skills to good effect. They performed 3 different acts every day. When they performed as the chocolate soldiers in their red and white uniforms the visual impact was enormous. Here they used mime illusion and mime technique to enhance the wonderful mime imagery. The costumes are similar to the soldiers from the nutcracker suite and really do stand out. Brendan as usual drawing on all his dance and physical theatre skills brought Rudolph to life and as usual this was a bit hit. Mel used many mime skills as well as utilizing mime and balloon making skills.
The mimescape performers had a great time with wonderful audiences and beautiful warm weather to enjoy.

mime tuition and sales development

Mimescape over the years have been teaching mime. Mime illusion is a small part of mime entertainment and therefore it is only one element of teaching the skills of a mime performer. Sometimes we have been engaged to teach mime as a whole so it is all the elements that go into becoming a mime performer. However, various companies have found it is useful as an aspect of teaching sales staff about body language.
How to be in the moment,how to rehearse for that special presentation. There is a whole set of skills needed for presentations and selling. Mimescape can provide an aspect of the skills that are needed but rarely taught. we have often done this as part of trevor liley presentations who have designed training workshops that cover the essentials for selling and motivation. Their trade show selling workshop is almost the only one of its type and is eminently practical. One can see the participants actively sitting up when they realize they are learning real world techniques for improving their sales results.

Mime performers can go beyond just mime entertainment to provide an essential element of skills that a companies staff can use.

Mime entertainment by Brendan

Brendan continues to work providing his services as a mime performer. He has just worked several jobs as a traditional white face mime as well as using his mime entertainment skills as a mime robot. have a look at our website to see pictures of him as a mime,robot plus all the entertainment and walkabout characters we provide. www.mimescape.com
We still provide great value for bookers as we can do a few characters on the same event. For example the John ball characters for when people arrive at an event and then maybe traditional white face mimes or one of our english eccentric characters.

I still continue with the Pressmen. just worked doing the fake paparazzi/spoof paparazzi at a hotel and also I have just completed doing a photoshoot for a band melody nelson. Yesterday, I took photos of them live at the 12 bar club.
