Mime as corporate entertainment
“Mime is the theatrical art of conveying meaning
without speech through gesture, movement and
physiognomy. The human body will always communicate in
ways that are beyond words.
Mimescape is an entertainment company who have grown
from the universal core of physical transformation. We
use gesture, movement, facial expression and dialogue
to create original scenarios for both festival and
corporate entertainment.
Our characters can help to generate a fun,unique and
interactive environment. For example, at company
parties they help to break the ice between guests,
create an impact and provide the basis of a memorable
atmosphere. On the street they intrigue, amaze and
delight, drawing people of all ages into their surreal
worlds. And they are a very effective brand awareness
tool who can be used to convey a message or generate
interest in a product in both the UK and International
markets.
This is a reworking of a previous post thanks to Caroline. An ongoing look at how we express the work we are doing.

Brendan and Mel are at the core of the team but they are constantly bringing new people in to add to their skils of Mime and physical expression.

The Snorkellors
The snorkellors are another sea themed mix and mingle act. This is a little more absurd but works extremely well. This act can work using aspects of Mime including slow motion and the idea of moving statues. It can also work with verbal interaction and can also include a musical element as well.
As always mimescape as a company can use several different walkabouts for one function thus providing great value. We can create the perfect icebreakers for your next function.

The John Bulls visit 21st Century London
John Bull is a national personification of the Kingdom of Great Britain created by Dr. John Arbuthnot in 1712, and popularised first by British print makers and then overseas by illustrators and writers such as American cartoonist Thomas Nast and Irish writer George Bernard Shaw.As a literary figure, John Bull is well-intentioned, frustrated, full of common sense, and entirely of native country stock. Unlike Uncle Sam later, he is not a figure of authority but rather a yeoman who prefers his small beer and domestic peace.
Here our 2 John Bulls are visiting 21st century london enthusiastically amazed at modern Britain and as always adding their own forthright views on the world.

Mimescape brings in the new
Brendan Stapleton and Melvyn Altwarg are pleased to announce the launch of 3 new characters as part of the ongoing development of their well established double act.
Their emphasis has been on creating visually stimulating and exciting character walkabout for festivals and other forms of entertainment. At any function these characters create impact and help to generate a fun atmosphere.
1. John Bull characters. There are 2 of these characters identically dressed and they are based on the idea of 2 18th Century Englishmen. They find themselves in the 21st century and are constantly exploring what the dickens is going on.
2. Little and Larger are 2 characters where one is large as in the photo and one is thin. The large one is constantly searching for the food and the other is constantly in a state of embarrassment trying to stop him bothering others. They constantly argue with each other amazing and amusing all who see them.
3. The teleheads are 2 aliens in very similar costume. They are from the planet Tele on a mission to explore strange new worlds such as Planet Earth.
