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 us a DVD, CD, video (PAL or NTSC) to: LIMF, 35 Little Russell Street, London WC1A 2HH. If we think your material looks suitable for the festival, we will try to come and see it live somewhere. We regret we are unable to return material without a pre-paid reply envelope.

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 2006 festival will take place from Wed 11-Sun 29 January. Submissions should reach us by mid-July 2005, but ideally in the period May-June.

Funding
The London International Mime Festival gratefully receives annual funding from Arts Council England
