WORKSHOP: HOUSE OF MASK & MIME (TH): MIME AND MASK

Pantomime is considered as a fundamental art form of all genres of performance. At the same time, it is a contemporary art form that transcends language and culture boundaries.

This practical training program is designed to help learners to develop skills of pantomime. Participants will learn to accept their own thoughts and emotions through activities such as creating imaginary objects in the air, understanding the rhythm of pantomime, learning pantomime techniques, and expanding and reducing movements to emphasize the desired communication. This training program is designed to teach the use of masks in a way that reflect one’s imagination or fantasy in order to enhance the performance, and to practice the appropriate use of space. Participants will learn about the personality of masks, practice with the mask, speak through gestures, and move while wearing a mask.
