Learn the basics of mask theatre | Redcliffe

26 Apr 2025 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

This workshop introduces you to the fascinating world of mask theatre. You will learn about non-verbal communication, and how physical expression can speak louder than words.

In this workshop you will: 

• Learn about full face non-verbal mask theatre and its history. 
• Join in physical warm-up exercises to enhance body awareness, flexibility, and movement.
• Meet the Lolly Pop Ladies, a group of characters in costumes and masks.
• Choose a mask and experiment with physical traits and mannerisms to bring your mask/character to life. 
• Participate in improvisation activities to refine your character's quirks, gestures, and personality. 

All participants are invited to:

• Participate in a follow-up workshop - ‘Develop a mask theatre character’. 
• Be part of a roving performance as one of the Lolly Pop Ladies at the 2025 Anywhere Festival Moreton Bay.
