Mask Work

Some guidelines for using masks in performance:

·         Once you are wearing the mask please do not touch it... it breaks the illusion,

·         Do not speak once you are wearing the mask... your actions and gestures will tell the story,

·         Never stand facing sideways to the audience the string can be seen... once again it breaks the illusion,

·         Never place the mask on the floor face down... it can get spoilt

·         Using a tissue/wipe give the inside of the mask a quick wipe before passing to the next person... it gets warm with a mask on.
