Mime Class (Ages 9-18)

Explore the unspoken world of mime, an art form that is as versatile as it is energetic and as challenging as it is dramatic. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn ”the robot,” step into slow motion, transform into stylized characters,  escape being trapped in an invisible box, & much more!  Students will have the opportunity to perform in whiteface at Grove City Strawberry Days.
