Neutral Mask, The

Synopsis
The ‘neutral mask’ is considered to be a powerful learning tool for the performer. Jos Hoube, the Belgian actor and director, trained with Jacques Lecoq, Monika Pagneux and Philippe Gaullier, and was a founding member of the Thé‚tre de Complicité, with whom he has performed and directed. He also directs the company the Right Side. Over a five-day workshop held in Edinburgh, he explored in detailed practice some of the mask’s demands and implications for the actor. This video is an edited record of that work.
