How do mimes tell a whole story without using a single word? Discover the secrets of mime and pantomime with The Chameleons, a California-based mime troupe! This mesmerizing duo will walk you through the action-packed “tug-of-war” and an interactive narrative titled “The Heavy Suitcase.” Wow your friends and family afterwards with illusions of spaces and objects!

The Chameleons, also known as Keith Berger and Sharon Diskin, are professional mime theatre artists and arts educators based in Los Angeles, California. Keith and Sharon have performed for more than one million children and adults worldwide. Their focus as arts educators is primarily aimed at K-12 students and their teachers. The Chameleons’ mission is to impart the magical storytelling aspects of this ancient art form—and, in doing so, capture the imaginations of a new generation and teach them how to create performed work that is at once vivacious, resonant, and beautiful.
