John Weaver ( July 21, 1673 - September 24, 1760) was a dancer and choreographer and is commonly known as the father of English pantomime. He was born in Shrewsbury, England. His father, being a dance teacher, suggested Weaver go to London and become a ballet master. Weaver soon became a specialist in comic roles and created the first pantomime ballet, the burlesque Tavern Bilkers (1702). His more serious work, The Loves of Mars and Venus dealt with themes from classical literature and required a significant amount of gestures due to the story not being expressed in any spoken form. Because Weaver attempted to use plot and emotion in replacement of more sophisticated technical and speech methods, he is considered a major influence on subsequent choreographers, including Jean-Georges Noverre and Gasparo Angiolini. ...more on Wikipedia about "John Weaver"
