Behind the Mask

The English Department, Villa Maria College of Christchurch, designed a mask-making workshop option for Integrated Studies Week end of term 2007. Specific learning outcomes were:

• Create a monologue "From behind the mask" that explores the inner life of an animal seen at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve


• Create a visual representation of an animal in the form of a facial mask using natural materials


• Present both mask and monologue in a dramatic presentation before an audience
