More Than Mime Theatre

More Than Mime Theatre More than Mime Theatre creates acts that make you say 'wow!' Frans Vogels is a multi-discipline theatre maker and performer originally from Holland.

More than Mime Theatre is a distinctive and quality inventor of roving, stage & installation acts for events. With acts that surprise, touch, intrigue & delight people, we bring the extraordinary into everyday life. His background is in Classical Mime and Pantomime and he has studied with many masters including Marcel Marceau and Halina Witek. His many years of intensive training have given Frans

a remarkable quality of movement and rare skills, such as the ability to not blink for up to 30 minutes. Frans also studied theatre design at the Academia of Art in Utrecht (Holland). In 1989 Frans started the company Bolo, Multi Theatre for Concepts and Performances (Netherlands) which was hugely successful and instrumental in establishing the corporate theatre market in Holland. In 2007 Frans decided that it was time for a new challenge so he moved to Australia to start More Than Mime Theatre. Frans’ use of unusual materials (such as rubber latex) gives his costumes and sets a unique and magical quality with a startling likeness to wood, iron or stone. His performances have been described as ‘visual spectacles combining humour and finesse’, where the audience will ‘enter into a poetic experience through the international language of mime, pantomime and physical expression’. Frans is passionate about the art of Living Statue-a discipline poorly understood in Australia due to the dearth of quality practitioners. Frans is determined to show Australian audiences that there are many more possibilities for living statue than a man painted gold (or silver or white).

Dubai loved ‘Mr. Snapshot’ as they called him. (They called me m’am 🤣). Always so heartwarming to see how universal the language of mime is when it is so beautifully executed.
