Deep Dive: Exploring Theatrical Masks // 10.30am-2pm // Tuesday 19 May // Cherry Hinton
What?
Come and explore theatrical masks at this drop-off workshop in which we will start with blank white masks and slowly add expression and characteristics to create our own characters. What is it like to act ‘without’ a face? How can we realistically move and express ourselves when a mask has features that don’t change? We will learn theatre techniques, skills and disciplines to bring our masks to life and end with a presentation to friends and family showing off our masks and our skills. Expect to use your body, wear a cardboard mask, do some cutting and sticking, and work with others to create characters and scenes. Theatre masks are not toys, they aren’t animal masks, superhero masks or Halloween masks – they are SO much better! Come and find out how and why.
