Session Two: Clown and Mask: $100.00
In this 6 week session we will explore mask and clown work. Participants will make their own mask and learn how to "present it".  Using physical exercises, observation and written work (self generated as well as existing material) the group will explore ways of creating and building clown and mask characters.  This will be a fun and intense six weeks of collaborative creation, culminating in a showcase of the work. The class is open to all levels of experience. Please dress in clothing that can get dirty or bring an old tee shirt for the mask making.
