Description
Playing the Mask: A Fresh Approach to Acting John Wright's innovative book explores the world of mask-work, demystifying its power and potential. Masks empower actors to take risks, provoke creativity, and unleash their true selves. By using masks, actors can tap into playful energy, generating ideas and developing characterisation in a fun and engaging way. This book offers a unique approach to acting training, featuring games, exercises, and illustrations that bring the author's experience as a theatre-maker and teacher to life. Extensively illustrated with a rich variety of masks, Playing the Mask is an invaluable resource for actors, theatre-makers, and teachers looking to liberate their creativity and improve their performance.
