My role in the Academy

I run movement workshops for the Academy singers teaching them a language of movement through the essential concepts of mime. I also do the staging and movement direction for many of the Academy performances.

Tony is Mime Director of the Festival Musica sull’Acqua on Italy’s Lake Como where he teaches classical mime and creates original theatrical interpretations of Festival music. He co-founded MuMo—a new fusion of music and movement—with Festival Artistic Director and Italian violinist Francesco Senese.
