Performers are expertly guided by professional artist Susan Bertoia in discovering the nuanced non-verbal body cues and gestures we inheritably use to communicate. We then use these findings to explore the world of animating mask. Mask performance is a heighten, dynamic and immediate form of theatre and storytelling. This beginner level mask workshop focuses on the primary skills to activate a mask: the precision of movement; the natural consequences of an action; the mask’s gaze; the essential audience; the use of breath and sound; and the tapping into of one’s Imagination. Engage in a physically charged and fun workshop that embraces non-verbal storytelling through mask. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in.
