What image do you have in the word Pantomime? It is neither act nor dance. It is a wonderful expression. Without using words, we can express everything with our own body. To make people imagine as if there is something in front of them is one of the techniques of it, but it is not enough to tell everything with a simple word.

Pantomime Mai. Mu. Tou. was organized in 1985 by Mr. Happy Yoshizawa who is currently active as a professional. He was the first man to acquire the gratification of Heaven Artist by Tokyo Metropolis in 2002.

Heaven Artist provides licenses to street performers after audition and admits the right to perform at park in the city and in the subway station Meanwhile, 20 members of the circle obtained it.

Three times a week, Mr. Happy Yoshizawa comes to practice and instruct us the techniques and skill to express ourselves. Body does not move fluidly even he teaches us carefully because our own trick became barrier. Miming start with realizing the body does not move in own way and is inconvenient.

Our goal is to seek Perfect coordination of all parts of the body with such body, but also the expression of all kind. The interesting part of pantomime is that the essences of things appear and travel to the audience directly.

For autumn school festival and subscription show on March, circle members work on it in one body. Members are all strange and warmhearted people. If you have any interest in our club, feel free to visit our clubroom anytime. Something fun does not happen just by watching from the outside.
