"When we wear a mask, we cease, to some extent, to be ourselves; we conceal from others both our identity and the natural expression of our emotions, and, in consequence, we do not feel the same responsibility as when our faces are uncovered; for it appears to us that, owing to our unrecognizability and the alteration in our personality (persona = mask), what we may do in our masked state cannot be brought up as evidence against us hen we resume our normal unmasked lives. The masked person is, therefore, apt to be freer and less inhibited, both in feeling and in action, and can do things from which he might otherwise be impeded by fear or shame. Hence the highwayman, the burglar, and the executioner have frequently worn masks, and a masked ball permits of less restrained expression of certain tendencies, notably the erotic ones than is otherwise possible."
-- John Flugel in his book Psychology of Clothes

There are so many reasons we experience fear, and they all prevent us from being in contact with the world. In this workshop, we will go into the self identified images that are creating this fear. With special music and expressive movement release work, we will be incorporating the strongest masks in the Studio 5 collection.

The Power of Mask, Voice, Body and Text
Posted by Helge
Taught by Master Teachers Per Brahe & Aole T. Miller
Samsoe , Denmark
May 9, 10, 11, 12
3200 Danish Kroner
($673 USD)
Master teachers Per Brahe and Aole T. Miller offer a workshop combining mask, voice, movement, and text. The idea of using masks in actor's training is to give the actor a deep experience of the body and to unlock the creativity of the physical body and its inspiration. A freedom and release of the body and voice will result in using Per Brahe ’s masks over the four workshop days. Mask work also helps actors find an experience of working from the character’s ego without the actor’s personal judgments getting in the way.
Fitzmaurice Voicework is the combination of physical release postures in which actors are introduced to the energy of breath. They will begin to experience the power of a free torso while discovering the different passageways of breath throughout the body. When this freedom in the torso is achieved, we will then Restructure the breath to an open rib swing and transverses abdominal support to assert the improvisation of breath, sound and speaking. It is at this time that the mask work will be incorporated to extend the actor's imagination beyond average pedestrian predictable choices. They will begin to experience a freedom in the body through the incorporation of image while still being able to express themselves clearly with a deep sense of the impulse of body, voice, and imagination.
