for ages 16-19

with Ella Mesma

Aimed at dancers in training, The Masks We Wear is a workshop to explore our identity on and off stage.

Sometimes the performance we put on in life can be more restrictive than our stage performance: from how technology allows us to create our self-image, to the sides of our persona we choose to show or to leave out.

In this workshop we will talk makeup, filters and masks, to explore the shadows that we hide from ourselves.

Participants in this workshop are invited to stay afterwards for some snacks, followed by an introduction to the work of Zsuzsa Rózsavölgyi before her performance of 1.7 at 8.00pm.
