BRB - open mime rehearsal - Birmingham 7th September

[Jan McNulty]

On the BRB website:

 

Learn how to be wicked!

 

As part of Birmingham’s 4 Squares weekender (6-8 September) you can join our Assistant Director, Marion Tait, for an open rehearsal in which she will be teaching the role of Carabosse, the wicked fairy from The Sleeping Beauty.

 

Focussing on the mime rather than the steps, even complete ballet novices will be able to understand the tips and techniques being shared by Marion, herself a former ballerina and famous dance actress.

 

Joining Marion will be First Artist Callie Roberts, who will be taking on the role of Carabosse for the first time as part of our autumn performances of the fairytale favourite.

 

The free workshop will take place on Saturday 7 September, 1pm, at the Town Hall.

This should be a tremendous event.  Marion has taken rehearsals and class for loads of BRB Friends' events and they are always rewarding experiences.  I wish I was free to go.

I would really love to do this one as there is very little taught on mime these days, I love using mime in some of my own choreography, but unfortunately I'm tied up this weekend. That really is the one that got away. Oh poo!

Lovely feature on the BBC with Marion Tait explaining the mime for Carabosse and Lilac:
