PhysFestNYC Workshop: Larval Masks with Megan Campisi

Larval Masks with Megan Campisi

Larval Masks (or Basel Masks) are characters in “the state of becoming.” They have a simple way of moving through the world and represent people at our most curious and our most vulnerable. In this two-hour workshop, participants are introduced to the fundamentals of mask work based on the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq. We begin with physical exercises to increase precision and clarity in storytelling and move to finding the spirit of play with the masks through improvisation. Masks will be cleaned between use.
