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.

The masks became more and more exaggerated as time went on - tragic masks got more and more horrific and comic masks more and more ridiculous

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.
