Teaching Philosophy
The vision of our program is stated in our title, which is: To provide our participants with a curriculum that spans the breadth of the Modern Art of Mime.
Our interest is not to teach the style of a singular creator or artist; in fact, our goal is completely the opposite. Our vision, is to meld together all of the essential elements from all of the key innovators of modern mime into one solid and clear curriculum.
The School’s curriculum is uniquely constructed around the teaching of “Mime Choreography Structures,” created by Goldston over the past 30 plus years. These structures enable the participant to understand elements of mime in a singular fashion, and later combine them according to their particular vision and style of work they intend to pursue.
Our working relationship with our students will be long term. As it was with the original Goldston School for Mimes, the School for Modern Mime will function as a school of thought and develop the artistry of its’ participants throughout the year. It will serve the professional artist by providing artistic direction, provide the beginner student with a solid base of training along side of participants who are already deep within the art, as well as serve as a center point for mime collaboration for company projects.
