Mask Makers Web

LARVAL MASKS Using non-human mask shapes (which in some cases covers the entire body),the participants will investigate and experience themselves in completely new ways. No longer relying on the human shape as orientation, the mask liberates a freedom of movement and expression that gives profoundly comic and hilariously moving insight. A refreshing shift out of the ordinary human morphology. MARK OLSEN is a movement specialist, actor, director, author, and teacher.
