Combining engaging performance with elaborate self-made costumes, Kate Mior produces visually stunning creative-movement based living art, mime and an array of hilarious characters; from street theatre installations to art-house shows and bawdy vaudeville, she performs with professional circuses in shows and tours as a solo performer in the world of buskerfests.
Kate began performing on the streets of Toronto, Canada while completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production at Ryerson University. Upon graduation, Kate was invited to participate in festivals across the globe, so she packed her bags and never looked back! After several years professionally proving her chops on her own, Kate sought training with Dr. Giuseppe Condello in corporeal mime technique, furthering her understanding of the medium.
From informal street corners to world-class festivals, intimate cabaret stages to big top tents, Kate has performed her unique installations and amazing mime shows across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia and Africa, picking up an impressive array of variety skills along the way: from balancing flaming cakes on her face to juggling machetes, Kate is a highly skilled character artist who creates unique shows from poignant and contemplative to downright hilarious.
Salut Peasants! Marie Antoinette is back and ready to seek revenge upon the very public that sought to dethrone her over 200 years ago. Internationally renowned mime artist Kate Mior takes her audience on a darkly comic adventure involving cake, duelling baguettes, and slapstick comedy which culminates into a hilarious finale involving an 8ft fully loaded guillotine--all without saying a word. Guaranteed to make you cry with laughter, be sure not to lose your head!
