Since 1990 The Chameleons (Berger & Diskin) have been two of the most popular and in demand artists touring for the L.A. Music Center Education Division. Their programs for children are some of the most sought after theatre in Southern California. Their television appearances include featured roles on the "Wonderworks" PBS special Gryphon, and numerous guest appearances on talk and variety programs in the U.S. and Great Britain.

Keith Berger adheres to no one "doctrine" of physical theatre. His influences range from the classical French pantomime of Barrault and Marceau to the forcefully dynamic American Mime Theatre style. Keith was among the very first performers to take his act on to the streets of New York City. Since then, he has toured his one-man show throughout the United States and Europe. Among these concerts are featured performances at Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, The Palm Beach Arts Festival, and a Royal Command Performance for Princess Grace of Monaco. Some of his T.V. and film credits include Red Skelton's "Funny Faces", "Crossover Dreams", "Angel Heart", "The Suicide Club", and most recently starring role on CBS' "Space Rangers". Off Broadway Keith wrote and starred in "Broken Toys".

Sharon Diskin began her theatre career as a child in Arizona acting in numerous stage productions and composing music. She fell in love with the art of physical theatre and mime in college when she had the good fortune to study with a guest artist named Keith Berger. After graduating from Oberlin College with a degree in Spanish she went on to train for 6 years at The American Mime Theatre in New York City under the tutelage of Paul Curtis. During this time she teamed up with Keith Berger to form their very unique performance duo. A gifted teacher as well as performer, she has taught physical theatre and mime at Cornell University and at their studios in New York and L.A. As a professional actress, Sharon has played the leading roles in "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Extremities," "Peter Pan," and "Miss Julie." Her film work includes "Angel Heart" and "Histoires D'Amerique".
