On the other hand, if you wait till next week you can see Classics from the Russian Ballet, and if you call 547-3629 between 6 and 11, they'll evidently tell you about some mime workshop based on the techniques of Jacques LeCoq...

They say Kenyon Martin is one of the few pure classical mimists in the United States. I wouldn't know, but it sounds like a reasonable enough cause. 1 p.m. Saturday, they didn't tell me where...
