Special thanks to BAMkids for their support in coordinating our residency partnership with BAM!
In October 2025, Broken Box was invited to teach a week-long residency at IEUM Academy (이음 예술창작 아카데미) for emerging artists with disabilities. Among these artists were core members of Sign Mindle who, upon learning about Broken Box Mime's pedagogy and technique, applied for funding to launch a cross-cultural exchange between the two organizations. In early 2026, Sign Mindle was awarded support from Korean Disability Arts & Culture to travel to the US and begin building a stage production that mixed the work of both companies.
Sign Mindle (Seoul, 수어민들레 https://www.signmdl.com/) is a Korean Sign Language arts and literature organization dedicated to promoting and educating audiences about Korean Sign Language through theatrical performances and visual vernacular.
Broken Box Mime Theater (USA, www.brokenboxmime.com) is a Brooklyn-based physical theater company founded in 2011 that mixes a languageless, propless medium with complex, contemporary storytelling.
