23° international laboratory
"the mask and the face"
training and research meeting 
from 27th august to 10th september 2011

theme

Having investigated in depth themes such as the use of the body, the creation of characters, the poetry of expression, the personal roots of creativity, voice and sound and the historic memory, this year the international workshop of the Teatro delle Radici directed by Cristina Castrillo and Bruna Gusberti, will focus on the use of the mask and its expressive qualities (peculiarities).

contents

As well as the usual physical preparation and the development of the introspective world, which are at the basis of the creative techniques of the Teatro delle Radici, we will focus on the relationship between personal memory and type of mask, between the body structures and the physiognomy of a covered face, between what the mask enhances and what it hides. A space to investigate theoretically and in practice one of the oldest objects of the history of theatre.
