- familiarise students with the basic rules of performing in full mask, focusing on physical clarity
- develop students’ understanding of specific performance elements such as movement, gesture and pace, and how this helps in creating character and communicating intention
- teach students important mask techniques such as internal monologue, clocking, punctuated movement and stillness
- build students’ confidence in the devising process, and encourage them to think creatively and clearly
