With over twenty years experience in Theatrical Mime and theatre, Lorin Eric Salm brings an approach to the art little known in the United States. He views Mime as a theatrical art, using the magic of illusion and the power of silence to create comic and dramatic physical performance for the stage. His style transforms Mime into a profound dramatic art that speaks through movement and attitude, geometry and poetry. He makes the invisible visible, and with the body touches the
soul. Lorin has performed in Paris both with Marcel Marceau and in his own one-man show “That is to Say . . .”, as well as in Israel, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles. In May 2006, he represented the United States at the Second International Pantomime Festival in Shefa-Amer, Israel.
In 2001, Lorin founded
Mime Theatre Studio in North Hollywood, California, where he currently teaches
year-round workshops.
Lorin Eric Salm has become a world resource for the international Mime theatre community by his authorship
and administration of The World of Mime Theatre, the acclaimed website
that, compared to available online resources, Encyclopedia Britannica's Internet Guide called the "definitive source on mime as a theatrical art."
Lorin also serves as editor of several Mime categories for the Internet's Open
Directory Project. His efforts continue to further international appreciation of Theatrical Mime, and have earned him the recognition of Mime professionals and enthusiasts around the world. |
In the United States, Lorin teaches Theatrical Mime to
actors, dancers, comedians, storytellers, and singers (including workshops
for Cirque du Soleil); he coaches and
designs Mime and movement for
film, television, and theatrical productions; and he teaches Mime and character movement skills to
animation artists at Walt Disney Feature Animation, DreamWorks Animation,
and Sony Imageworks, and to animation students at California Institute
of the Arts and Bridges Institute of Visual Arts .
