Rowan Tolley is Yorkshire based and has been classed as one of Britain's most original and imaginative white face mimes. Influenced by Chaplin, Keaton, Tati and Beckett and building on a training of Decroux technique he studied in Bournmouth, London and Paris, creating a style that has been described as "Classical with touch of the unexpected". He combines touring his one-man show extensively throughout Britain and Europe with teaching, working Film and Television, Choreographic commissions and directing. Increasingly interested in the function of silence, he is a great believer in the element of risk for both performer and director.
Rowan Tolley will concentrate on Mime and Movement, working without words. The students will explore the exciting possibilities of physical movement in creating compelling pieces of Theatre.
