Class Details

The Mask is one of the oldest performance tools in the history of humanity – they conceal, reveal, and transform. For millennia they have been used in spiritual contexts like ritual storytelling, dance, and funerals. In our own times, theoretical and protective masks are part of everyday conversations and day to day life. This course will survey, discuss, and experiment with masks thematically and tangibly across histories, cultures, and traditions. There will be practical assignments in creating masks with various mediums such as recyclable materials, cloth, and paper mâché.
