In this intensive Full Masks workshop, participants will explore the transformative power of physical expression, allowing the mask’s emotions to flow through their body movements. This workshop introduces participants to the art of silent storytelling, guiding them in embodying different characters and experimenting with varied states of tension to develop compelling masked personas and scenes.

Mask theatre is a powerful tool for uncovering hidden strengths, enabling actors to express freely through their body, engage with the space, and interact dynamically with their surroundings.
