About the event
Learn about the wonderful breadth of possibilities that Mask performance can offer with teacher Adelka Polak.
This experiential movement workshop gets our blood flowing while introducing various body work techniques used to approach the creation of a character through the physical presence. The focus of the workshop holds the potential to increase individual strength, stamina and stage presence. Spoken words, emotions and body language become more powerful with the consideration of posture, breath and gesture in the development of techniques that internationally-acclaimed mask performer Adelka Polak has developed over the years, including from her late Masque Theatre mentor Larry Hunt.
This workshop is intended for adult artists and makers.
