Mask Workshop in Samsoe, Denmark from 8-11 May 2009: 'The Power of Mask, Voice, Body and Text'

In May, the theatre company Madam Bach arranges a mask workshop in the beatiful spot of the Danish island Samsoe. Per Brahe and Aole T. Miller, New York will run the workshop.

During the last couple of years the workshop has hosted participants from both Danmark, Sweden, Norway and the USA.

“THINKING, FEELING AND WILL": Balancing thinking, feeling and will is the foundation for an actor’s complete transformation. Without these elements to stimulate form, the body cannot achieve the right balance. It is also the foundation for mask work, and it is essential for an actor…”—Training the American Actor, “Beyond Michael Chekhov Technique”, Per Brahe.

Per Brahe and Aole T. Miller will be bringing their new mask series of thinking-feeling-will masks made by Bali’s greatest mask maker Ida Bagus Anom.

These masks challenge the body to activate the different energetic centers of “Thinking, Feeling, and Will.” This revolutionary move forward in Michael Chekhov’s process of training actor’s bodies is deeply realized in these new masks. The work will address each participant's personal issues with thinking too much, feeling too emotional, listening, contact and action.
