Bibliodramatic Storytelling with Masks
Since 2005, I have been using Bibliodrama as a form of story-telling, and I have been making masks to assist in those performances. The pictures that follow--- viewed singly or as a slide show---will give some idea of the materials used in this mask work. In this particular event at the North Country Reform Temple in Glen Cove, New York, I presented a mask-storytelling workshop to seventy five kindergarten-to-seventh graders and their parents. The presentation was followed by their own mask-making projects. Several days later I worked with teens in the same way. The masks they made were intended to become part of family Seders.
I am available to offer these mask-performances for schools, teachers, and at community events. I have been developing a curriculum in order to teach these skills to storytellers, Bibliodramatists, teachers, and artists.
