| Costume design and mask making at the Arts Center include a multitude of techniques including papier mache, sewing, casting, carving, body painting, and assemblage. Participants explore the mysteries of creativity and performance through hands-on construction. Each part of the body is re-imagined to become an island in space, a mountain or a temple with its own decoration, design, and movement. At the end of the workshop all the pieces of the body sculpture are joined together into a large, moving mandala of images. |
