Join us another brilliant theatre workshop as part of our all new Regal Family Theatre Festival. We are thrilled to be hosting Vamos for two workshops on Friday 26 July.

This workshop is perfect for children between the ages of 10 and 18. Please note 10 year olds must be accompanied by an adult.

About:
The engaging and fast-paced session introduces students to mask theatre, showing how to create characters, develop clarity in communication and devise original work, empowering students to create their own mask theatre.

The workshop will:

  • Familiarise students with the basic rules of performing in full mask, focusing on physical clarity

  • Develop students’ understanding of specific performance elements such as movement, gesture and pace, and how this helps in creating character and communicating intention

  • Teach students important mask techniques such as internal monologue, clocking, punctuated movement and stillness

  • Build students’ confidence in the devising process, and encourage them to think creatively and clearly

  • Encourage students to consider, and be able to critique, the importance of the performer/audience relationship

  • Develop teamwork and group trust

  • Allow shy or under-confident students to shine with the protection of a mask

Age: 10 and up. Under 11s to be accompanied by a parent.
Ticket price: £15 10 yr old child with adult/ £10 child ticket (11 – 18)
