Guest Artists
Claire Heggen
Co-director of Théâtre du Mouvement with Yves Marc since 1975. She studied corporal mime with Etienne Decroux and mastered various techniques and aesthetics (high level sport, classical and contemporary dance, eutonie, kinesiology). She conceives the art of acting and contemporary mime as a large concept, integrating Etienne Decroux heritage and based on the dramatization of movement and gestuality. This includes textual and object theatre engaging the body. Hence the actor's means of expression—his body—is placed at the very core of their artistic process of creation.

Lina do Carmo
Choreographer and dancer, she has lived in Germany and Brazil for many years. After studying dance and theater in Brazil and the United States, she studied mime in Paris with Marcel Marceau. In her artistic work, she combines body expression techniques with the imaginative sources of her roots, creating a unique and organic body language in solo and group performances such as: "Victoria Regia," "Fugitus," and "Viajante Da Luz." The creations conceived by Lina do Carmo are an expression of her cultural identity. Using her body, she translates emotions and stories drawn from her native culture into the language of dance art. In addition, she is a lecturer at Tanzhaus in Düsseldorf, Tanz Woche in Vienna and Ecole de Mimodrame in Paris, among others.
