Tony Montanaro Legacy Platform
Through my efforts in publishing under my ménes.média company, I have supported arts and artists in various ways over the years. One of the projects I developed and continue to manage is the legacy website for one of my teachers, the late mime master Tony Montanaro. Tony was an amazing person, teacher and mime artist who passed in 2002. The legacy website I designed and published with the help of many donors, mimespokenhere.com, shares his online courses, book and many articles about his life and contributions including a fully restored collection of the Mime Times and the documentary film Theatre & Inspiration. The site continues to provide students to Tony at a rate of approximately 30 new students every year with traffic amounting to thousands of visitors from around the world seeking information about mime history. Tony’s courses continue to be an excellent resource for correctly learning mime technique. For those interested in learning mime, his tutorials are crystal clear and have stood the test of time. Revenue from all sales of courses and books is distributed annually to Tony’s widow, Karen Montanaro.

Touring Artist Websites
Over the past two decades, the ménes.média initiative has brought to life sites for touring artists in multiple disciplines. This work includes digital asset development such as artist profile videos, photo shoots and audio integrations. My arts publishing initiative includes branding, graphics design expertise and digital systems development across social media, Vimeo and YouTube.
Videography, Photography & Distribution
The initiative documents live performances through capturing, processing and optimization for promotional and archival purposes. My media work portfolio includes travelogues, documentaries, live theater events, studio recordings and autobiographies. This work has successfully brought arts contents to thousands of audiences across the globe and inspired countless people to explore and support the variety arts.
