The mask as a pedagogical tool: from craft to scene

Resumo

The purpose of the project was to develop a interdisciplinary theatre pedagogy about masks, including maskmaking, neutral mask training and acting techniques based on Commedia dell’Arte aspects. To ground the methodology I have researched methods used by Jacques Lecoq, Amleto and Sartori and the theatre group Barracão Teatro, specially it’s director Tiche Vianna. A group of young actors has been gathered to put in test the proposed trajectory and register objective and subjective material about the experience.
