Obituary

The Stage and Television Today, 20 December 1962

Shortly before Christmas 1962, Irene Mawer died of a stroke.  The obituary describes Irene as having been one of the most remarkable English mimes of her day.  It also points out her other great passion in life – teaching, and acknowledges that she was loved by successive generations of students.

“Her sudden death takes from the English dance an artist who, in her day, was a superb mime, remembered especially for L’Enfant Prodigue but skilled in all details of an exacting art and able to inspire her pupils.  When, after the war, the Ginner-Mawer School ended its notable career, Irene Mawer taught for a time in Birmingham before she retired to the Berkshire village of Blewbury.”
