Taster workshops – Vamos Emerging Artists programme. Each year, Vamos Theatre, the UK’s leading full mask theatre company, invites emerging and inquisitive young artists from diverse communities across the country to take part in free or subsidised mask taster sessions, where they can learn about mask techniques, creating physical character and devising non-verbal theatre that connects and moves audiences. From these taster workshops, Vamos Theatre brings together a group of artists to create and perform mask theatre from shared stories and backgrounds, finalising in a public performance. The Vamos Emerging Artist programme is designed to discover the next generation of mask performers. All young or early career artists who are interested in physical theatre are welcome. It is supported using public funding by Arts Council England and by the Barry Jackson Trust.
