The Hidden Face : Neutral Mask, Spontaneity and Psychodrama This workshop will be of great interest to people wishing to strengthen their physical and dramatic presence, spontaneity and expression, in life and on the psychodrama stage...  Through the mask we start to uncover our capacity to embody elemental forces, emotions and character. As the mask has no expression, there are no preconceptions. Every gesture is magnified, is significant. Under the mask, one develops a heightened sense of space, movement and rhythm and a stronger dramatic presence. The mask helps us to be other than we are - taking us out of ourselves in order to return us there more accurately. This work asks you to enter your body, in the moment, to 'carry' the mask. We will use Psychodrama to explore what emerges as we undertake this journey. Please wear plain, comfortable clothing suitable for movement.
