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.

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.

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
