Trance Mask Workshop (2 days)

An introduction to Keith Johnstone’s Trance and Full Masks. A powerful way to unlock the actor’s creativity and to discover how to be expressive by engaging the whole body. Facilitated by Simone Tani, co-founder of the award-winning clown and bouffon company Teatro Pomodoro. The workshop will focus on improvisation exercises without masks, with half and full-face masks to explore different approaches and learn how those affect the performer’s body.
