Making Faces Theatre

Main Objectives:

To share the experience and play of masks with all members of the community, giving everyone the opportunity to experience wearing a mask.
To develop new areas of mask research across the modalities of evolution, biological anthropology, anatomy, health & vocality in exploring our humaness.
To collaborate between artforms using physicality to unlock the magic and illusion that mask can create and open up the doorway to our imagination.

Vicky Wright
Founder, Mask-maker & Workshop Facilitator

From training in Italy at Helikos, a Lecoq-based theatre school from 2011 – 2014, Vicky specialised in mask-making and physicality. Led by Giovanni Fusetti, an internationally renowned Theatre Director, this school uniquely developed each actor in combining Lecoq-based theatre, Voice work, Theatre devising, Martial Arts & the therapeutic approaches of Gestalt Psychotherapy, Wilhelm Reich & Jungian Psychology.

At Helikos, Vicky was trained in mask-making by Matteo Destro, a key international mask-maker and founder of the Atelier Mask Movement Theatre School, Italy (www.ateliermatteodestro.com).

Vicky brings a rare skill set with a background in Postural Therapy, Anatomy & Craniosacral Therapy (www.expressionofhealth.co.uk), to focus on the base patterns of movement & physicality. She teaches at Fourth Monkey Actor Training School & The Actors Centre in London.

Alongside teaching Mask and Movement for Actors, theatre groups & secondary schools, she facilitates community art events such as The Midnight Run, with recent highlights from the Battersea Midnight Run here.
