theater summer school berlin
mask play & character 06.07.2015 – 10.07.2015 time: 10-16h including break
„Se laisser faire”- „to be lead by the mask and its motion“, is one of the most important aspects of this workshop. We are not playing what we imagine, but we are guided by the mask, its beautiful „madness“ and uninhibited phantasy. By playing with the mask we discover limitless creative and artistic freedom – our own child’s imagination sparkles through the mask. It leads in playing with the whole range of human diversity, driven by our individual foolishness. In this workshop the actor often discovers unexpected and thrilling qualities.
From the mask play we get to building characters in the same creative and, if you want, „foolish“ way. The outcome of this vast range of characters is often stunning, unique.
As in the other workshops, my to acting is unconventional, exciting, vibrant and far away from analysis and theory. Different masks will be used in this workshop: a little nose, a mouth, a rubber band, self-made masks and traditional leather masks from the “Commedia dell’Arte
