In this workshop we are going to study faces and build a different face for each one of us. And we will put this new face to work with our body. How do we walk? How do we sit? And how do we dance, how do we use our body to be someone else’s body? We will jump from the plastic construction of a “mask” to the scenic experimentation of a body that seeks to be the body of someone else.
