Corporeal Mime Taster Class and Short Performance

On Saturday 28th March we will be holding an end-of-term event aimed at raising awareness of Corporeal Mime - a theatrical artform as yet little known in Japan. The event will include a 90 minute trial lesson and a short performance by participants of our full time course. You are welcome to attend either or both parts of the event. Both are free but booking is essential.

## Registration

To book your place please fill out the registration form (Japanese only) or RSVP to this event and we will follow up with you.

## 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, featuring solos, duets, and ensemble scenes devised during the term.
The material we are developing this term is in preparation for the end of year performance which will take place in July 2026. Starting from scratch - with no predetermined theme or written story - each student will give physical form to their ideas, relying on the knowledge and technique gained in class. Enjoy this glimpse into the unique creative process of Corporeal Mime.
