100 George Street, New Brunswick
The third installment of ongoing education program, Extend is a series of workshops designed to expand on the technical skills and craft of artists in the areas of dance, performance, theater and visual arts.
Extend No. 3′s focus is an physical movement and acting through mime with Bill Bowers.
As a mime, Bill Bowers strives to elevate his audiences into the highest realms of the human imagination. His eloquent movement evokes the deepest truths of the human condition. Often compared to Chaplin and Keaton, Bill Bowers has truly created a style all his own. As playwright John Pielmeier observes, “This fresh, utterly original and brilliantly skilled performer evokes new depths from his art form. In fact, he enlarges it. The heights he reaches bring us into different and unexpected worlds.”
Bill has performed master classes and conducted workshops about the illusive art form throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, including Harvard University, UCLA’s Teach for America, Rutgers University, and the Institute for Arts and Humanities Education, as well as performances, workshops and residencies colleges, high schools and elementary schools across the country.. Presently he teaches at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Education, Paper Mill Playhouse, and VSA Very Special arts (a program which provides arts for the disabled).
