Kevin Casey is a theatre artist and mask maker from the American west. He trained in physical theatre and mask making at HELIKOS Scuola Internazionale di Creazione Teatrale in Florence, Italy under Matteo Destro. If you're seriously curious (or curiously serious) about making and playing theatrical masks, Matteo is definitely the person you're looking for.

Shared abundance

Traditions of mask making are often secretive. Knowledge and experience die with the masters who dedicate their lives to a craft they never pass on and that's too bad. Hundreds of years of mask making technique have been lost due to closed culture.

If more people interested in the art form gain access to good working methods more masks will be brought into the world the deeper the work can become.
