The International Mime Institute and Festival took place at Viterbo College in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in July of 1974. This three week event was a result of two years of work by teachers at Viterbo College, headed by Louis Campbell. Mimes and theatrical dance troupes from around the country and around the world were invited to attend either in a performance capacity, as a student, or as a teacher of one of many workshops. Notable participants included Dimitri, Boris Hybner, Mummenschanz, Noel Parenti, and Ctibor Turba. |
