Gophi is a talented, experienced mime performer who was a key member of Hi! Theatre. Although hearing-impaired,  he is very comfortable interacting and teaching hearing students after a long association working for my former company, Dramaplus Arts.  His introductory powerpoint  show (which he created personally) offers an entertaining, interactive and highly informative insight into what it means to be deaf – and how, as a hearing person, the students can interact with him.

Therefore, as a value-add to his undoubted mime skills honed through his years with Hi Theatre and as freelance performer, studying with Gophi offers students the priceless opportunity to interact with a “disabled” person (the quotation marks are deliberate) who is talented and has a great sense of humour. Most students who work with him develop a basic knowledge of sign language, and many enquire about further courses on learning sign.
