The public, at large, is highly unaware of the rich diversity and history of physical theater (aka mime) as well as two internationally recognized pioneers in the field who live and share their passion in Tucson.

 

2010 marks a combined 50+ years of Mime exploration by Rick Wamer and Lorie Heald as well as 30 years of Mime Theatre at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio where Wamer serves as Artistic Director of the School for Mime Theater. This year also celebrates 7 years of the Youth Mentorship Program at Kenyon College and 7 years since the birth of Tucson’s own Theatrical Mime Theatre.

 

Wamer steps into his 30th year as a veteran in the field, who with Heald is dedicated to the purity, preservation and evolution of the art form. In speaking with them one finds an illustrious body of knowledge regarding physical theater- addressing with ease the common misconceptions of the art form, the rich stage of international community and the sheer beauty of the expression.

 

Currently serving as directors, actors, teachers, collaborators and innovators in the field, Wamer and Heald have mentored under the likes of Marcel Marceau, Stephan Neidzialkowski, Gregg Goldston and C. Nicholas Johnson and have shared many years of close association and camaraderie therein. Wamer and Heald have a breath of experience that spans the international stage as well as the movements of the distinct and diverging limbs of mime. School for Mime Theater at Kenyon College is a major international school for mime where Marcel and Neidzialkowski have given many in depth seminars throughout the years. In addition, the youth mentorship program has created exceptional young mimes and actors who are now leaving high school and going to college in theater arts after 7 years of summer training at Kenyon.

 

Wamer’s dream of developing an international center in Tucson for the development and evolution of the art form is coming true as he exposes Tucson to multiple expressions of mime and cultivates an audience that is aware of the breadth of its expression. He envisions linking Tucson and Kenyon in offering a center for training, research, creation and production of mime theater. Impacting the works of physical theater, traditional theater, monologue, multi-media exploration and circus art through community arts collaborations and productions.
