Acting with masks

Acting with masks covers acting with both full and half-face masks. Acting with masks requires an increased focus on intentions and action. Theatre masks require bodily engagement. The focus will be on different acting styles for different types of masks. This area also includes a practical test project.

• choice of theatre masks
• acting style, form and directing concept
• framework conditions for production
• planning, carrying out and assessing acting with masks
