Mime (Afternoon option only)
Mime with Stephen Aitken is a hair-raising, electrifying, titillating, and stimulating journey.
You will progress into a fusion of two main approaches: experiencing physical technique and mime acting, where you are encouraged and guided into exploring your own creativity and personality, and expanding your ways of playing. When you have a body that responds to all your demands, then you have the freedom to express whatever you wish.
Stephen Aitken has performed in Theatres, Schools and Arts Festivals, throughout New Zealand, the Pacific, Australia and China since 1983, both as a solo performer and as a member of Robert Bennet’s famous International Mime Troupe.

Black Barn Vinyard Classics at Sunset
CLASSICS AT SUNSET - how it happened
The seed was sown during the first concert at the Black Barn Amphitheatre in 1997 featuring Renee Geyer. Kate Holden, then President of the Hawke’s Bay Regional Orchestra (HBRO), was in the audience and knew immediately it was an ideal venue for the HBRO. HBRO hosted their first concert in 2000 featuring Patrick Power. By all measures, it was a huge success. 2001 saw Dame Malvina Major as the featured guest artist. In 2002 the concert was named Classic Christmas at Sunset and featured local artists including Jackson McPharlane and mime artist, Stephen Aitken. 2003 brought the talented 17-year-old violinist, Ben Morrison from Christchurch, with his musical director, professional jazz pianist David Selfe as our guests.
