Vaudevillian Mikael Rudolph in "Swim Home"

[mercurymarinemadison]

Easily the single most impressive performance artist I have ever seen. He brought tears to my eyes with his clever comedy and amazing control. A true master. You will be missed Mikael! I'll hold on to your business card...just in case.

RIP sir...your genius will not be forgotten in our circles.

[maghnuis]

RIP Brother. Mikael passed from this mortal coil at 6:15 pm last night. His winning streak against the cancer has come to an end. The winning streak in the hearts of friends and strangers will not end.

You rock, Mikael Rudolph!

[SisterRoz]

Wow ! Very cool !

[MikaelMN]

Thanks perrinfan. I'll be back there March 27th at Kids in the Rotunda for 3 shows. See you then!

[perrinfan]

Thank you for an amazing performance at the Overture Center, Mikael. I laughed until my sides hurt.

[JakkinWiss]

[MikaelMN]

Gratzie! Merci! Gracias! Thanks!

[ChanceMarmalade]

Amazing as always Mikael! This is the video that really got me into floating items which makes up most of my performances. I have a long way to go.

Incredible work Mikael!

Mikael is just AMAZING to watch!

Was lucky enough to see 'Swim Home' in person a couple of years ago, and I've never forgotten it.

Only talked with him briefly, but he really seems to be a genuinely wonderful person.

[MikaelMN]

Hey! Thank you so much. Where was the performance may I ask? I may or my not remember specifics about it, but only because I do so many shows and am now older than I was two years ago.

Great Gravity work! My time with Richmond Shepard in the 80's ("America's Foremost mime")

was life changing, it's great to see such a high level of skills again. Please post your next Los Angeles performance!

[MikaelMN]

Thanks jstart,

I am starting to do some national and international touring. There is a clown performer by the name of Wolfe Bowart who is from L.A. and still performs there sometimes. He is excellent and a friend of mine. Look for his work!

[NikoRedStar]

Fantastico! I found you in a search for Merceau. It is unfortunate that his death is the birth of my understanding. I begin to understand what Horace meant when he wrote, "Non omnis moriar." Are you coming through Dallas, Tx anytime soon? Where, if so, did you study? Might you recommend any other entertainers to steal from...*ahem*... study? =)...myspace dot com/nikopeace. Until then, Maestro.

[MikaelMN]

I probably will be returning to Waxahachie in the spring to perform onstage at the Scarborough Renaissance Festival.

Thanks!

[WileyPossum]

Very impressive!  Highly entertaining and skillful!

[inluminary]

wonderous

[MikaelMN]

thank you very much!

[intravenosa86]

Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it.

When are comming to Germany? I am mime student in Berlin, you're truly welcome and I would love to see your show.

[MikaelMN]

Hey, I don't have any current plans, but if you know of how to apply for any theatrical venues there I would be more than happy to visit.

If you get a chance, you should see "The Shneedles" perform. They are in Germany each winter for a few months, although I do not know where.

Here is there website: shneedles dot com

[TuxMan20]

Brillant! Have you ever been to the Just for laugh festival in Montreal? You'd have great success there I'm sure.

[MikaelMN]

TuxMan... I gotta get some applications out!!! Thanks for the tip!

I've never been to Montreal. I hear there are Canadians there.

[oskivariete]

thanks for your art, you are something different and subtle within the business shown in U.S.A

[MikaelMN]

thx much for your kind words...

[UniShow]

Mad skillz!  Mikael is a great person on and off stage!

[MikaelMN]

Dude... our private relationship is really none of their business!

heheheheh... Thanks for the props...

[jlitchford]

Beautiful Mikael.

You may single-handedly change the bizarre irrational stereotype that has shadowed the art of mime.

I studied at Le Centre Du Silence under Samuel Avital.

Best

Jason

[MikaelMN]

I considered going there way back in the day. I studied with Gregg Goldston and Marcel Marceau in Ohio...

[GreatHankini]

Hahaha, truly a creative and awesome show!

[MikaelMN]

Thanks Hankini. Are you a magician?
