Masks as Living Sculpture
Theater
Masks are living sculpture. Technically, this means the planes of
the sculpture have been juxtaposed to create the illusion of the
mask changing form and expression as it moves through space. A well
made mask will look different on each actor who wears it. A good
theater mask will dictate to the actor the character's life force,
rhythm, and particular outlook on life.
The Artist & The Studio
Jonathan
Becker is a mask maker, teaching artist and performer. He began
sculpting masks in 1986 while a student in Paris, France. Jonathan
has created hundreds of masks for theatre companies, producing
organizations, and training programs throughout Europe, Canada,
and the United States. His masks are currently touring throughout
the world.
The Material
These
theatre masks are made out of neoprene, an industrial latex
compound that
cures to a slightly flexible state. The mask holds its form like
a leather mask and is equivalent in weight. The advantage
to a neoprene
mask is that it is an affordable way of achieving an incredibly
durable and professional product. Because of their durability,
neoprene
masks are ideal for classroom use and touring.
