Mask Making


Last Saturday, amidst much production activity, we made masks for a scene entitled 'Masque Etude'. The two actors, who will perform this piece of physical theatre, sat patiently while plaster was applied to their faces so as to capture a 'mould' of their features - the sculpting of the masks will take place afterwards. The girls then went outside to enjoy the warm sun while awaiting the drying process of the plaster. A few weekend visitors to the school came and went but did not seem surprised by the sight of masked models sunbathing on the picnic benches. So much goes on at Elmwood that one more example of a creative undertaking is just par for the course here at this busy school!
