Mimes communicate exclusively through body language, facial expressions and gestures, without uttering a single word. That is their real strength: a performance bridges language barriers. It works just as well in international settings as it does at regional celebrations. It also creates a sense of quiet attention that other forms of entertainment rarely achieve. The performances can be used as reception acts. These acts welcome the guests and guide you through the evening. They also function as standalone stage shows that give structure to the programme. The performance formats range from short walk-act interludes and living statue elements to multi-part show segments. The duration and format of the performance vary depending on the occasion and booking.
At galas and award ceremonies, a welcome act opens the evening without overshadowing the programme. At corporate and team events, mime acts serve as icebreakers. They also provide a calm counterpoint between programme items. Trade fair stands benefit from the fact that mimes attract attention without making any noise. At celebrations, they provide a contrasting element to music and the host’s commentary. At birthday parties or dinner events in Berlin, too, mime artists create a memorable atmosphere for the guests.
Not every mime is suitable for every context. If you’re looking for an opening act for a gala at the Berliner Ensemble in Mitte, you’ll need a different type of performer than for a humorous trade fair appearance at the exhibition centre beneath the Radio Tower in Charlottenburg. Relevant selection criteria are:
Format and performance duration (walk-around act, stage show, living statue)
Line-up (solo or duo)
Technical requirements and languages available for communication
Budget and transparency regarding fees
Experience with the specific event
