This summit is in partnership with Theatre Alberta and their Rocky Mountain Series.

Join Victoria-based physical theatre company the Wonderheads for a magical and whimsical journey into the world of visual storytelling and mask performance.

INSTRUCTORS: THE WONDERHEADS
The co-founding ‘heads’ of the Wonderheads are Kate Braidwood and Andrew Phoenix, who came together in 2009 resolved to do their part in conjuring a little magic and wonder into the world. They are a multi-award winning theatre company whose work is performed in full-face mask, a wordless, whimsical form rarely seen on North American stages.

They have been described as “Utter magic” (CBC), “Powerful, surprising, and moving” (The Globe and Mail), and “Fantastic, in every sense of the word” (Cincinnati Enquirer).

Participants will gain a greater sense of bodily awareness, clarity and economy of physical expression, and an understanding of what it means to bring a fully realized character to life through mask exploration and articulate gestural investment.
