Neutral Mask Workshops

I'm running Neutral Mask workshops in Glasgow from Monday 29^th March until Friday the 2^nd of April.

The Neutral Mask is one of the most dynamic actor training tools, providing the corner stone of the Lecoq approach to making theatre.

The workshops will be practical in nature, building on the participants physicality, and based around their own stamina.

The workshops will be of use to actors, writers, directors, dancers & designers, people keen to learn more about physical theatre and anyone who wants to revitalise their creativity or top up their skills.

The masks we'll be using were created by Max Dana, please visit him on  www.mister-face.com

If you'd like any further information please feel free to drop me a line.
