Shortly after accepting the invitation to the London International Mime Festival’s variety show Short & Sweet choreographed and curated by Thick & Tight, aka Daniel Hay-Gordon and Eleanor Perry, I panicked that I wasn’t qualified to review such a refined art form. But once I got over myself, the sincere grace of these joyful performers won me over with ease.
What a place of inspiration! We enter to the bustle of people and dance everywhere! Breakers, Tango, salsa and contemporary dancers pop up in little bursts of performances, engaging with the audience and that’s just in the foyer and mezzanine. Once we are seated we are presented with short videos of the artists telling us a little about their background and piece.
