Peter Roberts, Scot by blood law and cultural heritage was born in 1952.
In 1975 he settled down in San Sebastian where he began working as a teacher of English. He was greatly drawn to the theatre, but ran up against the logical handicap of language when it came to practising his art. This forced him to exaggerate his bodily expression in order to make himself understood.

He started his own company in 1979 with the idea of investigating the possibilities of non verbal communication.
Over the years, his very extensive activity has allowed him to combine interpretation with docencia.

In 1983 he published his book, MIME, The Art of Silence, which continues to bear fruit as the use of mime grows in the field of teaching.
He has also been directing the Mime Studio for several years now and has given courses organized by: British Council, Ministry of Education, The Government of the Basque Autonomous Community, Universities and other public institutions for actors, teachers, students and all those who share his love for mime and illusion.

In 2000 Peter Roberts falls victim to a traffic accident, with long term consequences (sectioned tendons and nerve damage in right shoulder region) and psychological upset, due to the little probability of returning to his artistic career. While undergoing his rehabilitation programme, news about a drinking problem of behalf of his brother adds to the situation.
During the long period of rehabilitation, to stimulate his recovery, Peter proposed a show oriented towards the prevention of abuse of alcohol. . The pilot experience Mimo Alcohol has given way to a constantly evolving programme "Getting Straight Through", which communicates with young people on the issue of binge drinking
