	Mask Improvisation for Actor Training & Performance: The Compelling Image Category : MASKS - IN GENERAL Author : Sears A. Eldredge ISBN : 0810113651
	Description : The book begins by giving an overview of the cultural and social uses of masks and many of the beliefs surrounding the "transformative" qualities attributed to masks. It goes on to discuss the use of mask in a historical framework and traces the theatrical uses of masks through some significant eras. The real value of this book comes in the wide range of activities and exercises in the use of mask. Any teacher of Drama (from high school to university) can work with students through the exercises. They begin with the notion of "Neutral" and what the might mean for an actor in terms of movement and characterisation; then works through a range of increasingly defined masks to a complete "Complex Character" mask
