WANT TO PERFORM IN THE FESTIVAL?

The Mime Festival presents innovative visual theatre. Participation is by invitation only.

To let us know about your work, please send a VHS video (PAL or NTSC) to:
Helen Lannaghan & Joseph Seelig London International Mime Festival 35 Little Russell Street London WC1A 2HH
If you would like your video returned to you, please enclose a pre-paid postage envelope with your video.

If we think what we see on the video looks appropriate for the festival, we will then try to come and see the work live somewhere.

We are looking for professional, non text-based work, which can include animation theatre, circus skills, mask, mime, clown and visual theatre. Ideally, the work should not have been performed in London before. Please note that we do not programme pure 'dance' and there are no outdoor performances.

The 2005 festival will take place from 15 - 30 January 2005. Submissions should reach us by mid-July 2004, but ideally in the period May-June.
