Description

A Scheme of Work for online delivery, introducing Mask Theatre to KS3 or KS4

Created by The Mask Workshop

This SoW comprises 6 lessons, introducing the concept of modern mask theatre to learners, identifying the skills needed to bring a mask alive and finally making a simple mask at home and creating a short film.

Not being able to access face to face teaching must be hardest for drama teachers! So we’ve designed this SoW to help you introduce an area of theatre that is very focused on the skills and creativity of your learners. No studying texts or practitioners.

These lessons are practical, with simple skills to impart and video examples to watch to see these skills working. The lessons are designed to be short, provoke discussions and set up the main work, their home task.
