Trestle’s CPDL courses for drama teachers, professional practitioners and workshop leaders provide a unique opportunity to develop teaching and performance skills in mask and half mask, as well as discover new ways of helping students create dynamic performances.
“A fantastic valuable workshop with so much to take away and put into practice”
Led by professional theatre practitioners these practical one day drama CPDL workshops are held regularly at our home in St Albans, Trestle Arts Base or can be delivered at external venues.
CPDL training sessions happen twice a year with dates in Spring and Autumn terms. The days will include Basic Mask and Half Mask, Intermediate and Advanced Mask and give participants the confidence to work with students using Trestle’s expertise and creative abilities to make exciting mask theatre.
Mask Theatre and Half Mask | Tuesday 3 March, 10 am – 4 pm
This fun, accessible workshop will help strengthen your practice of using Trestle full masks and half masks as a tool for both theatre and social development.
