A mime is a performer who uses the theatrical technique of exaggerated body language and facial expressions to suggest action and emotion without words. A mime performance may tell a story, convey humor, or send a message.
On average, a professional mime costs $200-$400. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, and the complexity of the show. A solo mime performance will cost much less than a larger production with multiple performers.
Mimes often perform solo, but some are part of a performance group with multiple mimes. Others may offer both options depending on the event and the event planner’s preference. Consider your audience and venue size when determining whether to hire a solo performer or group and be sure to clarify those expectations before you book.
Mime performances can vary in length. Typically, they can range from a few minutes to an hour. The amount of time the mime performs will vary depending on the type of event. Are you looking for a full-blown performance or intermittent entertainment throughout the event? Keep in mind that for longer events the mime will need to take occasional breaks to hydrate and rest.
Mime performances are often pretty simple and require very little setup. You just need to give them plenty of room to perform. They can use a stage or just a dedicated performance space. Mime shows rely heavily on visuals, so be sure your audience will have a clear view of the performers.
Since mimes do not speak, there’s no need for microphones or special equipment in most cases. However, some performers may use background music, which would require access to an electric outlet or sound system in the venue. It’s important to confirm these details prior to booking.
Mimes can be an interesting addition to all types of events and for audiences of all ages. They can add an artistic element to festivals , corporate events, weddings, birthday parties, and street fairs. Mimes are also great at grabbing people’s attention, making them a fun marketing and advertising tool at a trade show booth, grand opening, or product launch.
