From Immersive arts lab 9 - more information or join our group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1537457282955910 session led by Graham Shacknell, performance arts practitioner with over 25 years’ experience. Graham was trained in masked performance styles, commedia dell’ arte by Antonio Fava at his international school in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and noh by Akira Matsui and Dr Ashley Thorpe from the Kita school of noh. Graham has a degree in Archaeology and Anthropology, specialising in the archaeology of performance; he is also a professional field archaeologist working with Oxford Archaeology. What can we learn from our ancient past and ways of representing ourselves I have asked Graham to speak to explore the consequences and opportunities of creating Avatars in a virtual world as representations of us. What can we learn from our ancient past and the human need for masks both literal and metaphorical. Graham is uniquely placed to understand this, as a theatre performance practitioner and a qualified researcher in Archaeology and Anthropology.
