You and three of your friends will enjoy a unique virtual opportunity to learn how the masters of mime and popping & locking, such as Marcel Mareau, Michael Jackson and Shields and Yarnell created captivating illusions with their bodies.
Come mime, dance and bust a move with Jane Pinczuk, who is the Founder & CEO The Music in Me Foundation International. She is recognized as a visionary in arts education and communications. She mastered her mime skills as a student of Robert Shields (one half of the world-famous mime team, Shields and Yarnell), who had their own hit comedy/variety show on CBS in the late 1970s, as well as appeared on 400 national television shows in the US, including The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, The Red Skelton Show, The Muppet Show, and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Shields is credited with being the originator of "The Robot," which is Pinczuk's signature style.
Her award winning “Rap” on Reading Celebrity Book Series, features forewords written by Rap Star Big Sean, Ten-Time Grammy Award Winner Bobby McFerrin and Baltimore Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker. Her books, empowerment, literacy, educational and anti-bullying programs are driven by music and the performing arts under the innovative initiative called, PeerPositivePOWER.
The program stops bullying through peer intervention by inspiring a sense of community, leadership, team building and self-esteem to become positive thinkers and doers. Pinczuk is dedicated to helping our youth and the young at heart discover their inner strengths (or superpowers) to achieve immediate and long-lasting brighter futures. She is a professional communicator and writer with 30 years of experience in newspapers, magazines, books and television. Her work has appeared in The Washington Post and The New York Times, among other publications. She wears many hats as an author, educator, administrator, entertainer, pantomime and dancer as well. Her performances have been seen at The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Wolf Trap Center, television, public/private schools and other public venues.
Can more be said without words? Yes, indeed! Actually, nonverbal communication accounts for 93% of all daily communication. Discover the performance art of pantomime that uses facial expressions, body language and hand gestures without words to tell a story. It is a very popular form of entertainment that can be seen on stages and on street corners around the globe.
Many times it is combined with popping & locking, which is a robotic street dance. Mime remains one of the most popular art forms in schools because of the way it stimulates creative thinking and imagination. It improves and reinforces social, emotional, physical, creative expression/aesthetic and cognitive development so important to children’s learning. Imagination is the only tool required. Mime, most of all, is great fun and entertaining to watch and learn!
