Upcoming Workshop: Mask-Making
Odyssey Theatre is excited to present Mask-Making Workshop: Creating Botanical Masks from extraordinary mask maker Clelia Scala!
During this two-day workshop, Odyssey Theatre’s resident mask maker, Clelia Scala, will work with you as you design a theatre mask inspired by the beauty of spring! She’ll guide you through the entire creative process, including designing your mask, sculpting with clay, shaping with Worbla, and finishing it with a variety of materials to make your mask performance-ready.
Join us for a fun weekend of creativity, and take home a one-of-a-kind mask decked out in flowers, leaves and vines that you can use as a beautiful decoration in your home or garden, wear in celebration of spring, or even use to inspire your own masked performance!
No previous mask-making experience is required – just your imagination!
Recommended for ages 14 and up. Click here to register!
The location of this workshop will be announced soon, it will be in central Ottawa, those who register will receive more details in the coming weeks. Contact us with any questions about this workshop at office@odysseytheatre.ca.
Odyssey’s World of Theatre Masks
Our new initiative is a digital mask resource centre, a website which will share Odyssey’s 40 years of experience and provide an opportunity for people of all ages in all communities to discover the magic of masked theatre. Users of the innovative resource will be able to explore our collection of 350 masks, masked performances and take workshops to inspire their own creative endeavors.
Increasing access to the otherwise widely inaccessible artform of masked theatre, the initiative will expand on our long-standing commitment to removing barriers to the arts and providing accessible arts training and resources to our community, as well as our work in digital storytelling.
This summer, we will be piloting the project in partnership with community organizations throughout Eastern Ontario. Stay tuned to our website and social media platforms for updates on Odyssey’s World of Theatre Masks!
