Unmasking the Mask: Insights from Physical Theatre and Life offers inspiration to theatre makers, theatre lovers, and those who wonder how and why theatre has nourished our understanding of human nature for thousands of years.  Drawing on decades of experience as a director and teacher, Arne Zaslove offers a look behind the curtain at the process of preparing to make great theatre.  The book offers an invaluable approach to developing the mindset needed to successfully create physical theatre.  With his deep training in mask work, Zaslove shares the gifts available from the masks of Commedia dell’Arte, and those of cultures around the world.
