The Neutral Mask is an essential tool in an actor’s training. It enables you to develop a sense of ‘stage presence’ and discover your talents as a performer. The Neutral Mask liberates the actor of inhibitions and encourages them to enjoy the pleasure of performing. In these sessions participants will be given the opportunity to investigate a state of openness, and in doing so discover the freedom to be creative and receptive.

Using the Neutral Mask and movement we will explore and transpose the world around us into a corporeal response, with a focus on the elements, materials and colors. Through movement analysis we will explore the basic principles of mime and mask technique. Aiming to give participants control and flexibility in how they move in space and also to respond to the imaginary world we can create with movement. Participants will begin to devise their own characters, scenes and situations, using the mask as a starting point.

This training is beneficial for actors, dancers, circus artist or anyone interested in entering the performing arts profession.

It’s physical, passionate and fun
