Intrepid Theatre Club $30 / $70 Workshop Pass In this workshop, the Wonderheads will introduce the fundamental process by which they bring a mask to life, using physical expression and articulation as the primary means of character creation and storytelling. The class will begin by exploring basic mask technique, working to develop greater physical awareness and increase range and clarity of physical expression. The class will then delve into the emotional life of a mask, learning what it means to use full physical investment to bring the masks to life and create a fully realized character. Students in this workshop will leave with greater sense of physical awareness, and a better understanding of how to use physical expression and articulation to create a fully realized character. Please wear clothes and shoes you are comfortable moving around in and be prepared to work barefoot or in athletic shoes. If you wear glasses be prepared to work without them or bring contact lenses. CAPACITY: 18 About the Instructor: Wonderheads is a physical theatre company specializing in mask performance and visual storytelling. Their work is performed in full-face mask, a wordless form that mixes European larval mask traditions with character mask styles, resulting in a whimsical, wordless craft rarely seen on North American stages. |
