TheatrGROUP is a theatre company with "method" acting training on-site. It is open 24-hours, seven days a week for members. This page will lead interested individuals to descriptions of various techniques and procedures of so-called "method" acting. What you will find here is not copied from books. It's in my own words, and composed for you with definitions, analogies, descriptions and examples of this work which I am able to relate to you after studying, teaching and using it as an actor for the past 23 years. I hope you enjoy. There are many fine books about this subject, and I have listed my favorites, with descriptions of their contents at this site.

MASKS! introduces students to mask theatre as a powerful and exciting art form. Students see improvisations done with masks ranging from neutral masks to fantastical masks, including animals, humans, giants, and objects. UMO Ensemble also uses half-masks to explore the element of voice and conversations. The ensemble introduces each style of mask and gives a brief history of its origination. Following the performance, students will have the opportunity to ask questions and look at the masks close up.

Performing in the street demands a lot of the voice. Many practitioners of street theatre deal with this aspect of performance by relying overwhelmingly on a visual presentation. We don't share that view. While there is a limit to the number of people that can hear you at any readymade site it is still feasible to present a show driven by dialogue if the performers are trained to get the best out of their voice.

We used seed beads from United Art and Education (800-322-3247). Five 16 oz. bags ($13.95/ea) supplied enough materials for 65 masks. The beads come in unsorted bulk packs ? sorting is good for your small motor skills!

by Mary Koepke Amato One rainy afternoon, my son Max turned into a bird. Not an actual live bird, of course. We had made simple bird masks out of paper, and when he put on his mask something magical happened. His arms spread out; his feet beat a wild rhythm; and his voice warbled a bold new song. My very shy three-year-old guy puffed up with power. And when he removed the mask, his face radiated intense joy, as if he?d been given wings. Since that enchanting day, masks have been as important to us as crayons or blocks. Hanging on hooks about our kitchen are more than 75 faces: pig, jackal, robot, wolf, and more. Primarily we use them to act out familiar folktales and stories of our own creation. My kids ? and other kids over for play dates ? call these improvisations "mask games."
