Mask & Movement Training is an extensive laboratory based on the universe of theatre masks and  the main currents of physical theater, such as Jacques Lecoq, Étienne Decroux and the Italian School. The course can be runned in individual modules or in a full one year program. 

The process begins with the neutral mask, enhancing the performer's presence and introducing the conventions of communicability of the mask. The larval mask allows students to experiment the territories of abstraction and mimo-dynamics such as the geometric form, the elements of nature and animal metamorphosis. The relationship between the morphology of the mask, the character and the human passions are worked out through the full expressive mask, which allows the creation of narratives based on the contrast of mask and countermask. Human comedy proposes a genuine and creative experience as students may create, design, and actually make their own masks. Also in this module students will confront their masks with an original dramaturgy constructed also on a textual level. Finally, the masks of the commedia dell’arte fully develop the abilities of the performer. Are approached all commedia archetypes and it's gestual models through schemes of individual and collective improvisations, interpretation of the mask morphology, creation of lazzi and understanding of canovaccio.
