A workshop for exploring the shadow self through character, clowning, and embodied storytelling. Step into the spaces we often keep hidden. The Mask and the Monster is an immersive workshop that invites participants to meet the shadow self—the unloved, the unlovable, the awkward, the wild, and the wonderfully strange—through masks, character development, and embodied practice.
Across the session, you’ll: Create and inhabit unique characters using mask work, clowning principles, and guided improvisation-Learn storytelling tools rooted in physicality, presence, and playful exploration-Develop confidence in embodiment, allowing characters to emerge from movement, impulse, and imagination- This workshop is ideal for performers, creators, and anyone curious about shadow work, personal expression, or the magic that happens when we give voice to our inner monsters. Come ready to play, discover, and release the beast inside.
