🖐️MIME: Metaphysical Mime: A Deep Dive into the Art of Silent Storytelling 🖐️
Taught by Jamin Jollo
Tuesdays 7 - 9PM
Sept 16 - Nov 18
Student Showcase Fri Nov 21
Step beyond words and into the raw, expressive language of the body in this immersive course on corporeal mime and metaphysical performance. Guided by director and mime artist Jamin Jollo, this extended training is designed for actors, dancers, movement artists, and curious creatives eager to unlock the full imaginative potential of silent theatre.
In this ten week journey, students will engage in physical and theatrical training rooted in the techniques of mime masters Etienne Decroux, Jacques Copeau, and Marcel Marceau. Building upon these foundational philosophies, students will incorporate masked mime traditions that translate our imaginations into arresting, poetic performance.
Each session includes a physical warm-up, technical exercises, improvisational prompts, and ensemble-based storytelling games. Participants will explore the narrative power of gesture, stillness, and "where is the lens?" all while cultivating presence, emotional depth, and the ability to conjure vivid worlds with nothing but breath and body.
Mime is not mere pantomime—it is a metaphysical, soul-stirring discipline. Expect to sweat, play, push limits, reflect deeply, and rediscover the profound joy of physical creativity. The course culminates in a final showing, where students present original or collaborative mime compositions developed throughout the class.

👹BOUFFON: Street Buffoon: Mockery and Ritual 👹
Taught by Eric Wilcox
Wednesdays 7 - 9PM
Sept 17 - Nov 19
Student Showcase Fri Nov 21
What does it mean to laugh in a collapsing world? What happens when the fool bites back?
Join master teacher Eric Wilcox for a ten-week journey into the delirious, sharp-edged, and oddly joyful world of Street Buffoon.
In the lineage of European buffoon and American protest theater, this class brings participants into direct physical and imaginative engagement with the absurdity of contemporary life. We train not only to perform but to interfere—to rupture the everyday with beauty, ridicule, and unholy delight. This session explores the grotesque body, derisive mockery, and public intervention as tools of sacred irreverence.
