Johann Wolfgang Goethe

MASK MAKING AND MASK PERFORMING

Traditional mask is the image of essential human nature
Peter Brook

The Mask is the contact point between human and divine, where real and fantastic co-exists. Under the Mask you learn to express yourself with the body, in a total movements economy, acquiring a rhythm, time and space awareness. The training is divided in 2 parts, developing in parallel. 1. Mask making: each student builds his/her individual Mask, using clay, plaster, papier machè. Masks can be painted as well. 2. Mask performing: practice with movement warm-up with soft gym and breathing, and improvisation, using Basel Masks, plain face, white, easy shaped, allowing to create characters in various situations and leather expressive Masks by Donato Sartori. At the end of the classes the students will perform with their own Masks. Training of 10 +10 lessons, 3 hours each for a total of 60 hours.

NEUTRAL MASK

An inside/out experience
Jacques Lecoq

Under the mask you are "available", engaged in the present moment. There is no past no future. Aiming for a neutrality of movement, each person has their own neutral state. Wake up, stand up, be there: feel the flow of the energy. It goes through the elements and the voyage. The Neutral Mask was a creation of Jacques Lecoq (French student of Cocteau and Decroux and founder of the Mime, Theatre, Movement School in Paris) with Amleto Sartori (Italian leather Mask maker from Padova). Designed as a tool to go at the source of movement itself, this unique Mask allows the discovery and improves personal movement in the space. It can be applied in learning and training situations, for personal improvement, raising movement awareness. Training of 20 / 25 lessons, 4 hours each for a total of 80/100 hours. The lessons are including 1 hour movement, 1 and 1/2 hours individual improvisation and 1 and 1/2 hours work in small groups. It is necessary a large empty space.
