Movement Theatre & Mime Artists: Kirsten Stephens & Dean Hatton

Kirsten Stephens and Dean Hatton will perform Nov. 27, at 7 p.m., in the DeWitt Theatre Arts Center.

Stephens spent three years studying physical theatre with Marcel Marceau at his school in Paris, France. After touring Europe with Mime de Rien for a year, she relocated to Minneapolis, where she met Hatton, who was studying at the Margolis Brown physical theater school.

Together, the duo performs their physical theatre act for colleges, high schools and, more frequently, at the Ball’s Cabaret, a performing arts venue in Minneapolis.

Tickets are $4 for adults and $1 for students. They can be purchased at Dove Bookstore, the Orange City Arts Council, Northwestern's theatre department and at the door. This event is co-sponsored by Northwestern College and the Orange City Arts Council with support from Patrick and Susan Giannantonio.
