“a perfect synthesis of mime and dance”
Marcel Marceau (Comment regarding Mimeistry’s style of movement)
 
We believe that through our system of training we can encourage and support the emerging artist to build a firm foundation in the performing arts, as well as its ministerial potential. With this in mind, the Mimeistry Achievement Program, or MAP, as we’ve come to call it, guides the development of young artists, to focus on what they can do, rather than on what they cannot do…yet!

Within Mimeistry’s Achievement Program, a student can progress through different levels of achievement called Student, Apprentice, Journeyman (our Professional level), and for the chosen few, Masters. These levels can be achieved by completing specific qualifications and tests, as outlined under each level in the program. These levels of achievement are offered in mime, dance, and drama, making it possible to double or triple majors.

The aim of our program is to see artistic Christians schooled in excellence, and united through a network of relationships that would enable them to pursue the same purpose in a way that is unmistakably self-owned. Our purpose as family of artists (Mimeistry’s guild) is to see artistic ministries restored in excellence to the body of Christ through performance, discipleship, and missions. We realize this by offering part-time and full-time, residential and correspondence college courses that lead the student from beginner levels to possibly becoming internationally recognized artists.
