Research for presentation:

Mummenschanz:

I used this link on Wikipedia to provide me information for this Swiss masked theatre group. This was very interesting for me! It is not actually a type of masked theatre, it is what a group does. This was so interesting for me as it is something I haven't seen before and it's not necessarily a mask for the face but the bodies make a face.

 This is a photo of some of the work they have done.

Commedia dell'arte:

To be honest I used a lot of my knowledge based on the workshop we did this year and last year on the characters/masks, and when it started and where it started.

I also used this link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commedia_dell%27arte

This provided me with even more information than I already knew. I also searched the characters individually using these links:

Japanese Noh theatre:

I did this in my presentation last year but I didn't focus on this one as much as KJ did this subject in our presentation. But I was interested about it and decided to include it in my presentation.

This is the link I used. It was so interesting. I also learnt some facts in other presentations such as they are very strict with the masks such as the fact that when you put on a mask you have to be off stage and in front of a mirror, when you put on that mask you have to be that character. You are no longer you, you are now that person with the mask on. I found this very interesting to be honest as commedia has a different rule about it!
