Introduction
Acting with Masks is the study of a type of theatre in which a person physically uses or puts on a mask, and brings it to life through acting. Masks are often integrated in ordinary theatre. Specialisation in acting with masks provides the students with basic knowledge of how to produce theatre masks and about how masks can be used and integrated in different types of drama work. The mask in European theatre and Theatre of the Grotesque/Commedia dell’ arte is central in this course.
Applicants may be able to take this course as an individual course if there are vacant places.

Teaching and learning methods
The course is process-oriented and based on the students’ own activities, practical as well as theoretical. Much of the course will consist of practical work on mask production and acting. This includes playing and experimenting with masks as well as experiencing and creating mask theatre.
Different masks require different acting styles. Continuous training in acting with different types of masks will be facilitated.
The students will receive individual and group-based guidance in making masks that are performable and in acting with different masks. Providing instruction for fellow students’ performances with masks is another necessary work form.
Different forms of work and documentation are used in the programme. Most of the work will take the form of workshops and seminars, with independent discussions and testing of ideas. Lectures and talks will be linked to practical work and theory. Practical exercises will be linked to the development of own expression/acting training and to perfecting the use of different theatre mask methods.
If there are English-speaking students on the course, it will be taught in English.
Course requirements
The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:
Compulsory attendance at teaching activities:
- a mask performance for children
- develop and present one mask play. (Students who have documented valid absence during parts of this group project will be given an opportunity to carry out an individual project in agreement with the lecturer, in order to sit the exam.)
- at least four internal group performances
- attending professional theatre productions that use masks
The students must cover expenses linked to mask-making. See the teaching plan for more information.
The students cannot be absent for more than 20% of mandatory teaching and supervision activities.
Assessment
The exam in the course is threefold:
1.Continuous assessment- individual
Through practical-theoretical work, the student shall develop skills that demonstrate study progress and activity during the learning process. The students cannot have more than 20% absence in this work. The following two practical assignments constitute the basis for assessment in the course:
- making a mask, participation and acting, including first performance for children
- participating and acting with neutral masks, larval masks, half-face masks and participating and acting in a ‘solo mask performance’
The assessment is based on the following criteria:
- The quality of four masks made during the course (the student chooses the four masks to be assessed)
- The extent to which the student demonstrates satisfactory assessment skills and insight in acting with masks
The assessment counts for 20% of the final pass grade. The result of the exam cannot be appealed.
2. Written development assignment - individual The assignment must be based on an issue linked to acting with masks and relevant theory. The assignment should be approx. 3000 words (+- 10%).
The development assignment counts for 40% of the final pass grade. The result of the exam can be appealed.
3. Practical performance exam - group Assessment of performance with subsequent oral problematisation, discussion and assessment. Three weeks’ preparation time is given.
The assessment is based on the following criteria:
- the artistic quality and suitability of the performance in relation to the target group
- the group’s reflections on and analysis of the performance
- the ability to assess their own work with respect to both process and product
- the execution of the masks
The practical performance exam counts for 40% of the final pass grade.
The result of the exam cannot be appealed.
In some cases, the practical/oral group exams can be held as individual exams.
All parts of the exam must be awarded the grade E or better in order for the student to pass the course
Permitted exam materials and equipment
All aids are allowed as long as the rules of source referral are followed.
Grading scale
A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.
Examiners
1. Continuous assessment - individual.
The assessment is made by two examiners. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.
2. Development assignment - individual.
Assessed by one internal examiner and one co-examiner that assesses a selection of the assignments. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.
3. Practical performance exam - Group.
The assessment is made by two examiners. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.
Admission requirements
Bevegelsesteater er en kunstnerisk uttrykksform der kroppens bevegelser, uttrykk og formasjoner i rommet står i fokus for scenekunstens kommunikasjon og uttrykk. Bevissthet i eget bevegelsesuttrykk styrker samspillet mellom aktører, rommet og tilhørere.
Bevegelsesteater kan rendyrkes som eget kunstuttrykk men også integreres i vanlig teater. Bevegelsesteater egner seg også svært godt som et pedagogisk verktøy.
Målet for studiet er å gi en grunnleggende innføring i bevegelsesteatrets håndverk og teori, bevisstgjøre det historiske samt dens funksjon i samtiden. Dette emnet egner seg for alle som ønsker å uttrykke seg kroppslig, enten det er kunstnerisk eller anvendt. Bevegelsesteater er et praksisnært emne.
Ved ledig kapasitet kan emnet tilbys som videreutdanning på heltid over et semester og som enkeltemneopptak.
Overlapping courses
Emnet;er et fulltidsstudium på dagtid.;Det forutsetter derfor at studenten (i hovedsak) er tilstede og er kjent med kunnskapsinnholdet i undervisningen.
Emnet er prosessorientert og bygger på studentens egenaktivitet både praktisk og teoretisk.
Emnet legger vekt på den praktiske siden av faget ved at studenten skal vise fagets egenart gjennom forskjellige visninger. Dette inkluderer så vel det å leke og eksperimentere, som å oppleve og skape bevegelsesteater.
Studentene vil få individuell og gruppevis veiledning og instruksjon i både bevegelsespraksis i en didaktisk form, i prosessen med bevegelsesfaget og med produktet av bevegelsesteatret.
Arbeidet vil hovedsakelig foregå i form av verksted (workshops) og seminar, med selvstendig drøfting og utprøving av ideer. Forelesninger og innlegg knyttes til praktisk arbeid og teoristoff. Praktiske øvelser knyttes til utvikling av eget uttrykk/skuespillertrening og til perfeksjonering av studentens bevegelsesuttrykk.
Hvis emnet har engelsktalende studenter foregår undervisningen på engelsk.
