Mime artist, Darian Le Page resembles a mannequin. With his face painted to resemble plastic, this “mannequin” not only walks, but also acts out various scenarios, often with unsuspecting passer bys. This form of street theatre is a popular choice for festivals. It also is a unique ice breaker to consider during pre-dinner drinks and for cocktail parties. A mime artist will also help bring attention to your exhibition by having Darian mime near your display.
WHERE’S THE WINE?
Darian’s bartender is one of his most popular mime characters. He mimes pouring beer from beer taps and opening wine bottles. He also mimes pouring the wine and conducting wine tasting sessions with the audience. This amounts to lots of fun interaction. In between his bartending duties, the bartender leans on an imaginary countertop with one or both elbows. These exaggerated stances also generate crowd interest.
WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
Having a themed event and not sure what type of entertainment will suit? Darian’s exceptional mime abilities can be transformed to suit a number of themes, e.g. Space/Futuristic theme – Darian can be transformed into a robotic waiter, French theme – Darian can dress ala Marcel Marceau, Charlie Chaplin, Aquatic theme – he can be a swimmer.
WHO IS DARIAN LE PAGE?
