Mask Making Workshop at NEYT

Ages: 14-19 Are you a creative type who enjoys sculpting (or who thinks you might?!) Masks are all about CHARACTER; they can be used to create, exaggerate, or even hide a character. In our upcoming production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle, all of the actors will be using original "half-masks" to help define their characters. SO, we're going to be setting up a Maskmaking Workshop, starting in mid-January, where together we will sculpt, cast, and paint more than twenty masks! Working from basic designs, the features of each character will be built with clay over existing plaster life-casts, covered with papier maché, painted, and readied for actors to wear. Prepare yourself for a fun (and often-messy) whirlwind of fabrication as we help to create all the inhabitants for the onstage world of this play. Sliding Scale Tuition: $150/$175/$200
