@school curriculum: masked dance

Dancers wear masks or costumes: Masks act to conceal an individual’s identity while allowing them to dance and share their dance in a public way. Masks can become a driving link to a narrative of movement.

Making masks and moving with them is the most exciting way to dance with students without  having privacy worries.

What is the story that these creatures tell and how do they move?

 Although the masks above were made with balloons and paper mache, masks can be constructed simply with cut and ornamented paper plates or with felt squares. Tie them on in a way that is comfortable and be sure to test eye holes to confirm good vision for safe group movements.
