Performances in Repertory  by  Laterna Magika

The ensemble company presents six creations in repertory in their non-verbal style using pantomime and other visual elements. (See website for current performance schedule.)

Puzzles
Part I explores the common thread of imagination in different arts. Part II "tells a little story which, unfortunately, happens over and over again."

Graffiti
This performance will let you venture beneath the colorful surface of the modern characters and symbols, being part of the pulsing urban expansiveness. Let yourselves be drawn into dynamic image animation and modern choreography in human stories taking place underneath that surface.

Odysseus
A telling of Homer's The Odyssey in Laterna Magika's non-verbal style using pantomime and other visual elements.

The Trap
The theme of this show examines the attractiveness and dangers of the so called "virtual reality."

Casanova
An interpretation of the life of Giacomo Casanova, legendary seducer of women.

L'École de Mime Summer Workshop | Stage d'Été

Since 1977 the École de Mime has been providing theatre training with a view to taking ownership of oneself and one's imagination. Objective theory and rigorous training make up the revealing educational foundation that prepares students to the most diverse aesthetic trends. Mimes, actors, dancers, singers and variety performers, whether professionals or amateurs, practitioners, teachers and theoreticians share the study of an artistic language that is fertile and radical in its exclusion of any consideration other than the performer on stage.

L'École de Mime donne depuis 1977 une formation théâtrale dans la perspective d'une appropriation de la personne et de son imaginaire. Théorie objective et technique rigoureuse constituent une assise pédagogique éclairée qui prépare les élèves aux tendances esthétiques les plus diverses. Les mimes, comédiens, danseurs, chanteurs et artistes de variété, professionnels ou amateurs, praticiens, pédagogues et théoriciens partagent l'étude d'un langage artistique fécond et radical dans son exclusion de tout ce qui n'est pas l'interprète en scène.

New Mime Theatre Company Forming: Seeking Actors

   A newly-forming Mime Theatre Company, based in the Los Angeles area, is currently seeking actors.  Both novices and professionals are invited to join the group.
     The initial phase will require potential members to participate in a long-term laboratory in which they will learn the techniques and styles that will serve as the foundation for the company's work. The primary styles will be Marcel Marceau's mimodrame, Etienne Decroux's Corporeal Mime, and will include some influence of Stefan Niedzialkowski's style.  Those with prior training/experience in Mime will be integrated into the group early enough to be sure they are familiar with these particular styles, while respecting their current skills by not requiring them to spend time covering material they already know.
     Those who demonstrate the dedication and talent necessary to succeed in this genre of theatre will become members of the company, which will create original works to be performed for the public.
     Lorin Eric Salm will direct the company artistically, and will conduct the training laboratory.  Mr. Salm, the author of this website, is the founder of Mime Theatre Studio in Los Angeles, California.  He is a graduate of the Marcel Marceau Paris International School of Mimodrama, and has been teaching Mime Theatre for 15 years.  (Follow link for more information about Mr. Salm.)
     Once enough people have expressed interest in learning more about the company, an information meeting will be scheduled.  Anyone interested in attending this meeting should contact Lorin Eric Salm at the phone number below.
