Mask and Countermask
A drama lesson plan by Allison Williams
Mask and Countermask
by Allison Williams
All masks can be played in more than one way, even if there’s a dominant look. In this lesson, students will explore how two physical interpretations paired with each other and opposite to each other become the mask and the countermask—the opposite reaction. They will then apply the qualities of movement to their mask/countermask.
