Mask: Making, Using, and Performing

Drawing on the four temperaments, Mike Chase explores the transformative and regenerative power of masks in education, the arts and therapy. Highly illustrated throughout with colour photographs and line drawings, this comprehensive new book explores the history of the mask, different mask-making techniques and uses, and includes extensive workshop exercises for movement, voice work, games, improvisations and general acting skills. It also looks at the use of masks in the therapeutic arena. It is a truly unique work.
