Through an accessible introduction to mime history\, warm-ups\, games\, object work\, classical illusions\, and lyrical movement\, participants will develop a stronger sense of physical presence and nonverbal expression. The workshop draws inspiration from secular gospel mime—using movement to illuminate a vocalist’s story\, message\, and artistic intention—while creating a playful\, queer-friendly space for curiosity\, vulnerability\, and conne ction. Participants will be encouraged to approach learning with optimism\ , accept the physical nature and expression of others\, and discover how e mbodied storytelling can generate empathy and humility.\n\n$30 Suggested URL:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bJ5IHkWyBQfvZ2eIisRuozcp-VJl1h_DW2jEFQ zAoLg/edit DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261018T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261018T170000 LOCATION:Level Up Studio ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arcane-city-library.nyc3.digitaloceanspac es.com/prod/photos/1791293135_40b5de58-9ab7-4560-892a-0e15cf44ac06.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:https://arcane.city/events/the-yeoman-of-the-guard-5 DTSTAMP:20260927T124314 SUMMARY:The Yeoman of the Guard DESCRIPTION:The Yeomen of the Guard\; or\, The Merryman and His Maid is set within the Tower of London during the 16th century\, where love\, loyalty \, and deception intertwine beneath the shadow of the executioner’s axe. Colonel Fairfax\, a nobleman unjustly condemned to die\, devises an unexp ected plan to preserve his inheritance\, drawing the spirited strolling si nger Elsie Maynard and the Tower’s colorful inhabitants into a web of di sguises\, mistaken identities\, and romantic entanglements. As comedy give s way to moments of genuine tenderness and heartbreak\, The Yeomen of the Guard explores themes of honor\, sacrifice\, and the unpredictable nature of love in one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most emotionally resonant works.\ n\nThe Yeomen of the Guard is Gilbert & Sullivan’s eleventh collaboratio n\, and premiered in October 1888 at the Savoy Theatre in London. While it retains the wit and memorable melodies for which the pair are celebrated\ , the opera is distinguished by its richer emotional depth and more seriou s dramatic tone\, making it one of the most unique operettas in the canon.

With original music and choreograp hy and a live band\, this runaway bus has everything you love about the 90 s classic with a whole lot more singing\, dancing\, and theatrical chaos. You can’t buckle up - buses don’t have seat belts! - but you can hold on tight. Speed: The Musical is one wild ride!
