About Mime Into Theatre: A UK Cultural History

 Come and join us for a night of talks and conversations.

This event celebrates the publication of the first book to provide a comprehensive history of mime and physical theatre in the UK during its heydays from 1970 to 2000.

The talk will be chaired by Joseph Seelig and Helen Lannaghan (London International Mime Festival), and as well as the book authors, Mark Evans (Coventry University) and Simon Murray (University of Glasgow) it will include contributions from a number of important figures in mime and physical theatre during this period, including Peta Lily, Nola Rae, Susanne Burns and David Glass, amongst others.

The event offers a great opportunity to discuss the impact of this distinctive and hugely influential approach to theatre making.

Whether you are a mime artist, physical theatre practitioner, teacher, student, theatre historian or academic, this will be a wonderful chance to meet together and share thoughts, memories and impressions. There will be an informal gathering in the bar after the event.
