Summer stage 2020

NEUTRAL MASK
13/07 – 17/07

This intensive Summer stage 2020 course is an approach to acting with a neutral mask. The neutral mask develops the presence of an actor in the space that surrounds him. It allows to get rid of physical tensions and develop corporal plasticity. The mask puts an actor into the state of discovery, openness, availability to receive. It allows to see, to listen, to feel, to touch fundamental things with a freshness of the first time.  

We will work on the basic concepts of body movement (economy, articulation, accentuation, breathing, rhythm, projection) and fundamental acting skills (stage presence, urgency, receptiveness, action – reaction, movement of the body in space and a dramatic image).

The classes will be held from Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 14:00. The course starts 13 July and finishes 17 July. 20 class hours in all.

The course is imparted by Angel Bonora, the director of TEATRACCIÓ International Theatre School.
