German term or phrase: Baseler Vollmasken
Hi everybody, does anyone know how to put into English "Baseler Vollmasken"?

Sentence:
Maskenarbeit – neutrale Masken, Baseler Vollmasken; Körper ohne Worte – Farben, Musik, Gedichte; Chor

The topic is theatre work based on the following authors:
Jaques Lecoq; Keith Johnstone

Has anybody heard about this concept in English?

Thank you!

Much more interdsting than my current project :-)

full costume

Explanation:
In terms of the Carnival in Basel, "Vollmasken" refers to the entire costume, not just the mask proper. "Vollmasken" are full costumes as opposed to just masks. The term is also used for people who dress up as something or other instead of just putting on a mask.
