Future Mannequins

Roving Troupe - Sponsored by Medlock


These slow motion human mannequins with skilled mime movements and dodgy wigs move like automatons before freezing on the spot with quite frankly ridiculous facial expressions.

These mannequins on the move have muzak playing from a hidden sound system. They are smart and quirky, plastic and fantastic; they always draw a crowd.

 

Jason Maverick is based in Sussex where his troupe concentrate on performances rooted in physical theatre. They have a range of skills including mime, visual comedy, multi ball contact juggling and stillness.

Jason was a former international athlete then bodybuilder, representing Wales in the days when he sported a head of luxurious black hair. He was a TV presenter & writer for 156 episodes of Channel 5’s “Havakazoo’’ and is also the author of the highly-rated ‘Comic Verse for Men and Curious Women’’.

Entertaining has taken Jason to over 25 countries including tours of Botswana and Turkey for the British Council. He has performed at private parties for Her Majesty the Queen and also for the Beckhams. He lists name dropping as one of his main talents.
