PAUL WILDBAUM

|
Paul Wildbaum has thrilled audiences around the world with an inspired
repertoire of comedy, visual theater and audience
participation. Described as "hilarious" and "touching", Paul
is a compelling performer who combines the sublime with the
ridiculous to create a brilliant cast of characters: Hamlet as a
drunk, a baby unsure about being born; and with an uncanny ability
to involve the audience, he creates a western in which he plays the
villain and has audience members playing all the other roles, even
the saloon doors.
Paul studied mime with Til Thiel for seven years, Commedia
Dell'Arte with Carlo Mazzone Clemente, and clown and mask with
Richard Pochenko. He also apprenticed and performed as a
puppeteer and studied acting and directing with Marie Hopps.
He has presented his work to international audiences since 1976,
representing Canada to such prestigious events as The Macao Arts
Festival, The International Comedy Festival in Melbourne,
Australia, the Totus World Theater Festival in Poland, the
1992 Expo in Seville, London International Mime Festival and the
Montreal Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival. At
Expo 86, in Vancouver, he was in such demand that a 6 week
engagement was extended to 4 months and again, at Expo 88 in
Brisbane, Australia, he was held over for a month.
