This workshop aims to raise students understanding of this style of theatre, as well as the use of masks within their own theatre work.
Using basic or intermediate Trestle Theatre Company mask as a basis from which to work, students will be taught how to respect the mask and then bring the mask to life in a theatrical context. All students will be able to use basic mask work in creating a theatrical performance to share with each other. Most students will be able to successfully apply some advanced mask work techniques into a performance that will be shared within the session.
Each hour-long session caters for a class of up to 30 pupils from KS1 or KS2
