In photos: Turning to Stone

By Devon Litster and Amanda Marsh

Kate Mior is a mime-clown that has been performing for 10 to 15 years. She was among the many street performers featured at the recent Sparks Street 5oth Anniversary celebrations. Mior has many characters that she personifies, and for the Sparks Street show she chose to be the graceful angel. Her detailed transformation into a living statue involves a corset, portable LED lights, and a large amount of face paint. Mior then took to the streets to try and brighten the day of passersby.
