Contents
An actor's work with a mask is very much related to an animator's work with puppets, inanimate objects and also, in a sense, with a cartoon character. The seminar deals with the laws of this kind of acting. The inner feelings of the characters played in a theatrical way will enable the audience to better understand the psychological processes of the actor when portraying characters and to use them in their own work with a puppet or other inanimate object in an animated film.
Each student will work with different types of expressive masks from larval to character in the first stage. Then each person will model their original mask type directly onto a cast of their face. They will learn the whole process of mask making and at the same time the laws of the human face and facial expressions.
Fixing one expression in the mask and animating it with their own body will lead students to learn the principles of animating puppets and inanimate objects in both theatre and film.
