Maskmaking is an art that is centuries old and has a rich history. The process of making a mask as well as the finished product, is relevant to many parts of the human experience; our emotions, responsibilities, and private thoughts. Masks assume both a metaphorical and a literal meaning in modern day psychology, sociology and culture. In ancient times, masks were incorporated into celebrations and events which allowed members of class-divided societies to interact with each other because of the "anonymity" created by wearing them. As the subject of much ongoing fascination over time, masks are deeply rooted in the human psyche and represent the hidden, dual and multi-faceted aspects of human nature.

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. He has taught, choreographed and directed productions at major institutes and universities across the nation. His specialties in the movement arts include Maskwork, Mime, Alexander based Physical Alignment, Stage Combat (Mark is a certified teacher and fight director with the Society of American Fight Directors), Taoist disciplines such as Yang Family style Tai Chi, Push Hands, Chi Kung and Wu Chi, and various styles of historical and contemporary Physical Comedy.

Submitted by Kathrine L Walker This series of mask lessons was developed for the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London, CT which has a large mask collection. The unit was part of a Carnegie grant program at West Side Middle School in Groton, CT and my assistant Dawn Estabrooks helped me write this. The program was taught during "flex" period as an option to ping pong, sports videos and making hair scrungies. The wonderful L.D. teacher, Barbara Moran, at the school was behind it all.

Below are written instructions on how to create your own Halloween type masks. Please don't confuse this technique with foam latex as these are two completely different techniques. Liquid Latex Mask making is also called "Slush Casting" because you pour liquid latex into a mold and swish it around, the latex clings to the mold walls and forms a skin, it is this skin that becomes the mask. Foam Latex is much more complicated and is the kind of technique that's used in film work. Quality masks and molds are only constructed after knowledgeable experience, get some good books or a video on the subject if you intend to seriously pursue this discipline

MASK Taught by Jim Calder The mask reveals what the face conceals. Through the mask we are free to explore the inner world, and the external life of, ourselves and the character. Responsiveness and listening are enhanced through the work, as is the actor's sense of play. Neutral Masks, Lavel Mask (a Swiss Mask slightly past neutral), character, and Commedia Masks are used. Usually voice and text are included. 10 weeks. Once a week.

Atelier f?r kreatives Malen und Kunsttherapie ( art therapy ) Wir werden einen Maskenrohling aus Ton herstellen. Dieser wird dann mit mehreren Papierschichten beklebt.

Diese Arbeit k?nnen Eltern und ihre Kinder gemeinsam durchf?hren. Auf Wunsch k?nnen wir noch einen vierten Samstag Nachmittag anh?ngen und uns in Maskenspiel ?ben. Dies ist eine wunderbare Sache die ganz viel Spass macht! Lassen Sie sich ?berraschen!

( go see some very interesting photos ) "Masken leben in einer Welt voll Magie und Phantasie. Wer seinem K?rper eine Maske leiht, erschafft aus sich ein neues Wesen fremd und altvertraut, liebenswert und skurril, naiv, gewaltig, zart, ... Masken die wir selbst bauen, demaskieren. Innere Gesichter, Gesichter hinter dem Alltagsgesicht entstehen unter unseren H?nden. Der K?rperwahrnehmungssinn, die F?higkeit, mir meines K?rpers im Raum bewu?t zu werden lebt auf, der K?rper wird zum Ausdrucksmittel. Das Tragen einer Maske macht so einen Sprung zwischen Welten m?glich, verzaubert mich selbst und das Publikum."
