Svargo's journey into the world of mime began in 1978
in West Berlin where his love for the subject inspired him to study it
extensively. He has taught and performed in Europe and more recently tours the show
"Once Upon a Mime" to enthusiastic audiences in Australia and New
Sealand.

consultation with teachers.
It is well presented, very accessible and lots of fun".
