About the Course
OVERVIEW:
Through music, prompts, and imagination, participants might find themselves “waking up” on a strange island, encountering others for the first time, exploring how to move, greet, and relate — all without words, using the wisdom of the “neutral mask”.
We close with a reflection circle to share sensations, emotions, and discoveries.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Perfect for adults seeking a creative reset, this workshop welcomes anyone who wants to reconnect with their body, imagination, and sense of play. You don’t need theatre experience — only curiosity and an open mind. It’s especially suited to artists, educators, or professionals craving a break from routine and a chance to rediscover spontaneity and expression in a supportive, light-hearted environment.
STRUCTURE:
Warm-up: The session begins with an energising warm-up, gradually moving into the Seven Stages of Tension to awaken presence, release expectations, and prepare the body for play. We then enter the ritual of putting on the mask.
Journey: Once masked, the group embarks on a guided “voyage”: a sensory journey through music and narrative prompts — waking up on an imagined island, discovering others, exploring movement, curiosity, and connection in silence.
Closing circle: We finish with a cool-down and reflection circle, removing the masks and returning to reality to share insights, emotions, and discoveries.

Clara Vior
My work is rooted in the belief that creativity belongs to everyone — it’s not about performance, but presence. What matters most to me is the journey: a moment of openness, curiosity, and rediscovery through art.
As we grow up, we forget how to play and interact openly and honestly with each other. I strive to make my workshops into a safe space where you can be reminded of both.
