Mimbre Acrobats

It has been another busy week in the Lifted rehearsal room, experimenting with new shapes and choreographies.

This week in the Lifted rehearsal room, we have been playing with not just lifting, but falling too...

Last month, we were visited by Die Presse-Schaufenster in the Lifted rehearsal room. Thanks for creating this lovely feature about us!

It was so amazing to work with such a dedicated and inspiring team of strong women 💪

Just one week to go until Lifted enters rehearsals. You can read the interviews with the three amazing guest choreographers whose laboratories will inform the process on our blog.

Very excited to announce we are teaming up with Daryl Beeton Productions for a new project.
A Different Way is a ‘show and tell’ project connecting performing arts for young audiences with disabled artists and young people.

Very excited to be heading here in August with Lifted!

We're very excited to be in Spalding tomorrow as part of Illumiland, a Shakespeare festival organised by young people with Emerge Festival South Holland and South Holland Centre. Pop by and catch our Fierce Katherine!

Tomorrow is our last youth programme session of the term, and our fun day! Looking forward to performances from our super-talented young people, and some tasty waffles 😋

Check out our interview with our final guest choreographer Arthur Bernard Bazin (HURyCAN) on our blog and Instagram story.

We’re having loads of fun this week, experimenting with Arthur from HURyCAN in our final choreographic laboratory for Lifted.

Tomorrow we start our third and final choreographic laboratory with a guest Lifted choreographer, and we are super excited to be working with the wonderful Arthur Bernard Bazin from HURyCAN!

Here's our Executive Director, Lissy Lovett, talking to Without Walls about Lifted which tours to Without Walls consortium festivals Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, Stockton International Riverside Festival and Just So Festival this summer.

Another Throwback Thursday we came across during our spring cleaning of Mimbre HQ: this cool leaflet from our show Until Now from 2013.

Happy Shakespeare Week - a dedicated week helping primary school children engage with Shakespeare's work. Here are a few snaps from our two Bard inspired productions Wondrous Strange and Fierce Sisters.

Your show in Holzminden was so great.

Thanks for your really good performance :)

Keep it Up! �

This Day Bremen wonderful Show #LaStrada...

Thanx for coming to Amersfoort again. I saw both shows and really ♡ them. It was moving, brilliant acting and recognizable story. Hope to see you again next year in our beautiful town!

;-)

Simply spectacular watched the girls perform Bench at Birmingham Summer in Southside, mesmerising,amazing throughly engrossing

Saw you today perform in Great Yarmouth's Out There Festival. A brilliant performance of Bench with amazing skills, costumes and great acting. The whole family was totally engrossed and you were my favourite of the day! Thank you!! Kind Regards Tony

Saw you today at The Big Splash weekend in Newport, South Wales - what a fantastic, creative and thought provoking show. Thoroughly enjoyed it, as did my daughter (9yo) we had a discussion afterwards about the messages in the show. Brilliant! ��

Saw you at the Festival in Holzminden and loved your performance

Mimbre dares to stand out from other adagio combos. They use different formations and lifting combinations. They also, whenever possible, use the set as part of the act. I've been a Mimbre fan for 10-and-a-half years.

Love them!! We saw Bench two years ago, expectations for the new show were high, were met and even exceeded. Great show girls!! You would make an excellent flash mob in the London Underground! :) please come to Amersfoort again next year!!

Just saw them perform at Straßentheaterfestival Ludwigshafen (Street Theater Festival in Ludwigshafen, Germany) they were AMAZING! Such a beautiful performance.
