A few members of the company are trained in Mime and Physical Theatre including masks have been working around the globe, entertaining as both roamers and directed performances. We have performed in festivals, suitable for all ages. This all started for us in a festival for the deaf in Preston, 'Sign Circle' 2010. Both deaf and hearing attended the festival and found the pieces performed to be universal. This is our aim. Mime is a powerful tool that demolish the barrier of language, enabling anyone of any nationality to understand the story. Our pieces have been widely acclaimed due to its visual and captivating of mime and drums. The mime pieces have been going to places, and is now currently en-route to Sao Paulo, in Brazil.
