This book tells the story of ground-breaking movement theater performers of the late twentieth century. It explores how the virtuoso stage clowns and mimes drew on all the performing arts to create and star in shows in order to reveal our deepest thoughts and feelings. They ignored taboos and busted boundaries to redefine the relationship between performer and audience, making a theater of kindness—a theater of joy. Complete with over two hundred photos, the book tells how these performers came together at the International Movement Theatre Festivals and reached American audiences with their work. It also details the author’s story, his devotion to, and love of, the art and the artists, and his sometimes-harrowing journey into non-profit management. It offers a peek behind the curtain to describe the process of engaging artists, audiences, funders, and the international press in this mission.

For the first half of his professional career, Michael Pedretti was a college professor directing theater productions and teaching history of theater, acting and directing. In the late 1970s, he became fascinated by the work of mimes and clowns. He founded Movement Theatre International to provide professional training, performance opportunities, and national conferences to encourage the artists and to create a sense of community for the field. He presented more movement artists from around the world than any American impresario and is the most qualified person to describe and document the performances that may otherwise be lost to history. He has received many awards including a Kellogg Grant and appears in the International Directory of Distinguished Leadership. He is the author of six books including the dog and i, Begetters of Children, and The Book of Agnes.
