Program Description
Mask maker and actor Shuhe delights students and teachers alike as he guides classes through the process of making and performing in animal masks. Students sculpt and use papier-mâché to create a mask in the likeness of an animal of their choosing, then bring it to life through voice and body movement. In a process that helps develop observation and artistic interpretation, Shuhe uses his experience as an actor to bring out individual creativity. The residency is tailored for specific grade levels and varies in length accordingly. It culminates in a small performance of an animal folktale or fable for peers or family.
