Making the Stage-ready Mask

Learn how to make a mask that feeds the performer and is designed to play powerfully on indoor and outdoor stages. In this hands-on workshop, participants will design, sculpt, cast and paint a paper mache character half mask. Attention will be paid to sources of creative inspiration, qualities that promote dynamic onstage play, and techniques for shaping a well-engineered character mask. Participants will leave the workshop with a plaster cast of their face and one painted mask.
