LEARNING OUTCOMES:

The purpose of this experiential course is to apply a variety of practices related to experiential physical education through mask. By triggering the neutral mask, the status of neutrality as an expression vehicle and as the foundation and reference point for building each character will be explored. Neutral Mask is a tool that addresses the body's intrinsic dynamics as a vehicle for dramatic expression. Through the awareness of the space and the actor in it, the mask is a tool for eliminating unnecessary action and making movement more basic. The course will also extend to expressive mask skills (commedia dell'arte, grotesque) through physical and voice applications in a personal creative process (eg Commedia Canovacci).

Upon successful completion of the course the student will:

• Able to compose concepts and meanings using kinetic images that combine body and material processing (text, scenes, photographs, objects, music, voice, themes / problems, masks, costumes, poetry, painting, sculpture, scenes and objects) .

• Has learned to develop and perform theatrical scenes taking into account the time / space factors and the physical / psychological effects of the character.

• Has understood physically, mentally and spiritually the way in which their knowledge can be developed and applied within individual and group practice
