On Saturday 12th December we will once again be holding our end-of-term event aimed at raising awareness of Corporeal Mime - as yet little known here in Japan. The event will include a 90-minute trial lesson and short performances by participants of the full-time course and company members. Both are free! There is Japanese-only booking form below - please email us if you wish to make a booking in English.
★ There will also be a short talk about the school and about Corporeal Mime.
Free Trial Lesson
In this 90 minute class you will experience the basics of Corporeal Mime and acquire practical tools to help you express drama through your body. By studying the distinctive technique of Corporeal Mime you will gain physical awareness, expand your expressive vocabulary and learn to make more creative choices. The class will be taught by Kentaro Suyama and Tania Coke, directors of tarinainanika theatre company. Anyone interested in physical expression is welcome. No prior experience necessary.
End of Term
Performance
A short performance by our full-time course students showcasing scenes devised this term. Our inspiration was a letter written by the Lebanese writer Kahlil Gibran, about the desperate longing to express what lies in one’s heart. The students will bring this theme to life drawing on the knowledge and technique gained in class as well as their own personal longings and imaginings. Please enjoy this glimpse into the unique creative process of Corporeal Mime. The programme will also include short performances by members of tarinainanika theatre company.
