Description

PaperFace changes the way we stage and play theatre. Instead of preparing something to show, the offering shifts to sensing and tending to the audience. The players are played by the viewers who put the masks to work, reflecting their own stories and understanding of themselves.

This book is a guide to arriving at this new collaboration. It is a hands-on resource for anyone interested in theatrical full masks. Improvisers, actors, and directors will find dozens of practical exercises and inspiring scene set-ups that highlight simple, silent stories. With a tendency towards spontaneity, PaperFace illuminates the journey of the masked and unmasked actor alike.

Also included is bonus material about warm-ups, leading classes, online training, formats, mask-making, and more…
