Meet the Mime
“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live…” - George Bernard Shaw
Bird the Mime
​
Mime for Bird is freedom, a way in which he can share his loving, sincere, imaginative self with others; creating and exploring ideas and realities through movement, play, and co-creation.
Bird is in the process of uncovering and exploring a deep truth within himself as his role as a warrior-scholar; a "Heart-Mind Warrior". Being a cage fighter, college wrestler, and recipient of a history of violence among many other things, Bird is beginning to craft his energy and warrior spirit to champion his imagination and heart, so as to bring forth beauty and wonder into public spaces.
Bird is a social artist and aspiring philosopher. He has worked domestically and internationally doing community development for non-profits and NGO’s. He graduated with honors from the University of Washington with a degree in Community Environment and Planning (CEP) and minors in Political Science, and Urban Design and Planning.
Bird is a world traveler having backpacked across Europe and Central America. He is an avid adventurer having completed a solo cross-country bike ride, a lover of wisdom having completed multiple silent meditation retreats, and recently has been inspired to explore self through leading men's workshops and becoming a performance artist.
Bird is dedicated to understanding and actively advocating for a culture of self-responsibility and interdependence and see every moment as a way to practice this paradox.
Bird is a kind, humble, and strong man who is fascinated by the bigger picture and ways in which he can truly love himself. He is developing love for all beings and is constantly striving towards bringing forth and his higher-self. His purpose as he sees it now is to fully get to know and explore himself so that he can be a safe, loving, courageous man, partner, and member of community.
