Join in with this creative, high energy and inspiring masterclass from Vamos Theatre, giving participants a thorough grounding in full mask technique.

Through exercises and shared exploration, this two-day masterclass introduces mask characterisation, mask physicality, and techniques such as clocking, stillness and isolation, helping to build confidence and understanding of mask performance. More advanced full mask skills and a deeper understanding of the form will also be covered, including devising - both individually and as a mask ensemble.
