FAQ About The Cultural Evolution of Mask Performance

What are the different types of masks used in performance art?

There are several types of masks used in performance art, each serving a unique purpose. These include full-face masks, half masks, and neutral masks. Full-face masks cover the entire face and are used to completely transform the actor's identity. Half masks allow for partial expression while accentuating certain features.
