THE MIME CENTRE
a unique theatrical training ground

Adam Darius: Director
Kazimir Kolesnik: Associate Director
The Mime Centre is a unique theatrical training
ground for students from all quarters of the globe. It benefits many different
categories of people, all of whom find their lives permanently enriched
as a result. There are students interested in becoming actors, singers,
dancers, mime artists or clowns. There are others wishing to work in remedial
teaching or with the disabled and emotionally disturbed. And there are
those, who, in search of themselves, find the entire period an invaluable
time of self-exploration.
The Mime Centre offers a rare opportunity to study a diversity of theatre
arts under one roof during the entire period of training. The subjects
taught include expressive mime, illusionary mime, commedia dell'arte, make-up,
voice production, acting, ballet and creative workshops.
The purpose of Adam Darius's expressive mime technique is to develop the maximum expressiveness
in all performing artists. As such, every student is related to on a one
to one basis so that his or her latent abilities can be subsequently discovered
and nurtured. The results of this training have been extraordinary, not
only for the minority of students who enter the course with already cultivated
skills, but also for the student who arrives with little or no training
and/or feelings of inhibition. All students blossom in the atmosphere of
careful correction and positive encouragement.
Kazimir Kolesnik brings
to The Mime Centre not only the variety of his teaching skills, but also
the versatility of his original musicanship.
