| Description: | The Mask Project, taught by Ruth Eileen Dorn, encourages creativity through group interaction and exploration. Students create a mask by molding plaster gauze over their faces, adding structural elements, and then adorning the mask with an amazing collection of materials --- paints, papers, fabrics, buttons, beads. During the process, mask makers explore their inner qualities through story telling and guided imagery. The Masks reveal, rather than conceal. A creative spiritual, nurturing, joyful process, the three-dimensional replica of the participant's face becomes a symbol of personal power. The class is based on the principles presented in The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron | | hits: | 387 | | Added on: | 02-Mar-2006 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | Among the most colorful and fascinating of these festivals were the masked dance ceremonies known as Tsam. These ceremonies, introduced in the eighteenth century, were held around the New Year with the purpose of destroying the evil that had accrued during the past year. Performed by monks, the characters portrayed in the dances included a wide variety of terrifying deities from the Lamaist pantheon. Today, however, in newly independent Mongolia Tsam ceremonies are once again being performed.

They carry sticks which they use to strike children that have misbehaved recently. The men wearing the red masks represent ancestral spirits rather than human beings and do not talk.
