Third grade drama students have begun learning all about masks, specifically, how to use them as an actor! So far, we have become different characters and beings by using only the masks found in the drama classroom. Students took turns wearing traditional Venetian and Chinese masks, and then used somewhat silly stick masks to create short scenes. Over the next few weeks we plan on exploring mask work in various forms, which will include making our own masks and even playing with clown noses! Our goal is to see what happens to our bodies and voices when we wear different types of masks.
