Since ancient times, masks have played an important part in the
multiplicity of cultures throughout world. They have been symbols of
transformation and of the mystery which is veiled by appearances.
Additionally, they have been objects of worship, used in shamanism, rites
of passage, and healing and funerary ceremonies.
Indra Saddiq Pablo of Purnama Sari Balinese Dance Company will lead a
Balinese mask and masking workshop, Mask as Metaphor. This
workshop will begin with a demonstration of sacred mask dance which is
significant part of temple ceremonies and rituals in Bali. It will then
explore masking as a powerful metaphor for self inquiry and discovery.
The group will examine the multiplicity of personalities we embody from a
perspective of archetypal psychology, Balinese mysticism, and Sufi
metaphysics. The participants will have an opportunity to try on masks
and improvise with different characters. This class is participatory. No
prior experience is necessary.
Indra has lived in Bali for over twenty five years. He has studied dance-
ritual with accomplished Balinese dancers and has been teaching
meditation and mysticism in the US and Bali. He has led meditation
centers in Puerto Rico and Maui, Hawaii. He holds a Master’s degree in
interdisciplinary study from Lesley University. A great deal of his
academic work was conducted in Bali and centered on ethnographic
studies, myth, Jungian psychology, and Balinese dance in practice and
theory.
