Full Mask Workshop: The Silent Body in Expression

In this immersive workshop, we will explore the profound connection between silence and the expressive body through the art of full mask performance. Without the aid of facial expression or spoken words, participants will discover how to communicate emotions, tell stories, and captivate an audience using only their physical presence.

This workshop will focus on full masks, which are known from the work of Keith Johnstone, among others. The scene work will take place without words. Felipe Ortiz will teach in easy-to-understand English.

Felipe Ortiz is a performer, director and teacher who is interested in exchanging, interacting, playing and sharing experiences with different artists from all over the world. He is passionate about the body in movement and its possibilities. Therefore, he explores it through acrobatics, improvisation, clowning, physical theater and object manipulation to create new forms of expression in the performing arts.
As a performer, he has been touring the world since 2003, with various projects at festivals, companies and in collaboration with artists in these fields. He is known on the international scene as a teacher of improvisation, physical theater and clown.

The workshop will take place on April 12 + 13 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. (incl. lunch break) at Haubachstraße 80 in Altona.
