Through Space, Force, and Rhythm, the Neutral Mask teaches Silence, Balance, and Calm, which guides the actor to physical Freedom, Awareness, and Expression. Focusing primarily on the methodologies of Jacques Lecoq, the work is often improv-based, and draws on historical movements like Commedia Dell’arte and clown, as well as Lecoq’s famous Neutral Mask technique and psychological exercises involving elements, colors, and seasons to promote a more mentally and physically liberated actor.
