mime corporel meets mimactiv
Atelier des Mimes is a Berlin / Germany based conglomerat of mimes, training, exploring and performing together. Atelier des Mimes produces theatrical mime productions and offers several-months-long intensive workshops in physical theatre, mime and ‘mime corporel dramatique’ (Etienne Decroux Technique).
This enterprise was founded in fall 2013 by Oliver and is lead by him ever since. Please find much more information on our website www.mime.berlin
