It’s that time of the year again when I wish I were in London instead of New York. The reason of course is the 37th edition of the London International Mime Festival, which runs January 10–27. Calling it a mime festival is less accurate than its subtitle of “contemporary visual theatre.” Maybe it was more mime-y back in 1977, but these days it’s a rousing mixture of puppetry, nouveau cirque, clowning, dance, mime, juggling and everything in-between. Especially in-between.
But not exactly your typical music video. This is another recommendation from Leonard Pitt, whose mask performance we saw two posts ago. (You should definitely friend Leonard on Facebook, he shares some cool stuff!). This demo is by master wood carver Sheri Tharp of Berkeley, Ca., who writes “it took 2 weeks of carving, 37,000 photos, and a lot of patience.” If you ever wondered how this is done, here’s your answer.
