Papier Maché character mask workshop in Århus
With Stephan Vernier, maskmaker and performer with Theatret Thalias Tjenere
Four days: 18-19 April and 3-4 May
Presented in cooperation with Move'n'act Stage School.

DANISH descripton: (See below for English)

På dette kursus vil vi lære processen at fremstille en maske til teatret i papier-maché, det materiale, som af flere årsager egner sig fortrinligt (måske endda bedst) til teaterbrug. Går man rigtigt til værks, kan man i dette materiale skabe en maske som er superbillig, smidig, holdbar, lækker at se på og at røre ved, og – ikke mindst – udtryksfuld.

Kunsten at lave en god maske ligger nemlig ikke kun i teknikken, men også i forståelsen af, hvordan man skaber et nyt ansigt, som har stærke karaktertræk, mange udtryksmuligheder, og den flygtige gnist, man kan kalde en “sjæl”.

Sted: Søjlerummet, Brobjergskolen. Tider: 9.00-15.00. Timer: 28,8
Pris: 1.050,- (*875,-) inklusive 150,- i materialeudgifter
Tilmelding: www.move'n'act.dk senest 7/4

ENGLISH:

In this short course, we will learn the process of creating a mask for theatrical use in papier maché, which for a number of reasons is one of, if not arguably THE best, material for theatre masks. Approached correctly, this process allows us to make a mask which is extremely cheap, flexible, durable, delightful to look at and a joy to touch, and - last but hardly least, expressive.

The art of creating a good mask lies not only in the technique, but also in the understanding of what is needed to produce a new face which has strong character traits, many expressive possibilities, and that elusive spark we could call a "soul".

Place: Søjlerummet, Brobjergskolen. Time: 9.00-15.00. Hours: 28,8
Price: DKK 1.050,- (*875,-) including 150,- in material costs.
Registration: www.move'n'act.dk . Deadline April 7th
