About Pi the Mime:  Pi the Mime steps straight out of internationally trained performance artist Alexander Luttley’s imagination and onto any stage that’ll have him. Combining mime, clown, various forms of dance, circus and burlesque, Pi and the mimes have burst onto the scene with a full length production and a variety of sketches that have appeared all across the UK Cabaret and Theatre scene. As they approach a year and a half they also embark on a journey as ‘teachers’, combining Luttley’s wealth of training with what has become the recognisable Pi the mime style. With a passion for performance and an avid interest in fighting the restricitions of social labels upon the individual, Luttley and Pi look forward to popping up more often, and returning with Award Winning Production – Un Cas de Nostalgie – at Mimetic Festival 2014 in The Vaults (from 20th – 28th November 9:50pm). Pi and the Mimes can be seen at events including Cabaret Roulette, Luscious Cabaret, Whatnot Cabaret and Oh My Cabaret; at venues including Madame Jojo’s, House of Wolf, Shoreditch Town Hall, The Vaults and Roxy Bar and Screen; and alongside companies including Finger in the Pie, Juliette’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus and RIFT.
