throughout the world!

The Netherlands, Austria, New Zealand

... to name a few!

1st International Performance - JAPAN!

These are pictures from my long-time ago.... Charlie Chaplin days....

who would eventually because of many international tours

be christianed

"CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S CANADIAN TRAMP"

My first international performance in Japan for Expo '90

Was pleased to represent Ontario and Canada!

This first trip lead to another one in 1993, organized by Mr. Dick Finkel!

Indeed, I have always maintained that MIME is an international language....

I have many fond memories - especially of this first trip!

2nd International Performance - the beginning of many to THAILAND!

Fond memories at the Dusits throughout Thailand and Indonesia!

Fond memories of teaching conducting workshops....

My first international TV appearance!

Charlie Chaplin's Canadian Tramp - popular one-on-one...

and...

appearing in unexpected places....

Charlie catches a ride?

Giving a workshop to children in Chiang Rai!

Fond memories with staff...

Way in the distance, Charlie Chaplin's Canadian Tramp visits people in their homes!

Later....in Singapore!

Canada's Father of Confederation

Sir John A. Macdonald's Living Statue

in Singapore!

Yes, even children approach a LIVING statue!
