BEYOND WORDS a collection of Mime, Music, and Monologues: a poignant
journey that continues Bowers' ongoing investigation of silence in our
culture. Set against the backdrop of "small-town America," BEYOND
WORDStakes the audience on a funny and poignant journey of sound and
silence. One of the most acclaimed mimes in America today, Bill
Bowers' eloquent movement evokes the deepest truths of the human
condition. Often compared to Chaplin and Keaton, Bowers has truly
created a style all his own. Bowers is a student of world-renowned
mime Marcel Marceau, and has performed and conducted workshops
throughout the U.S, Europe and Asia. His acclaimed original shows
have been produced Off-Broadway to critical raves. The New York
Times has said "To see Bill Bowers is to see the technical elements of
a style that bring Marcel Marceau readily to mind. Mime can be
wonderful...the air between him and us was his palette."
