Each character has a mask, or persona, whether they have a physical constructed mask on their face or not. For example, the lovers' masks are the painted faces of the actors. A mask has no past, it lives in the present. They are not effected by the events on stage. In other words, they never change. An actor's hands never touch the mask. Nothing can interfere with the gaze, the facial expression, of the mask. The mask is the center of the character. It drives the character and leads all action.

The ancient shamanic rite of mask-making is a powerful healing ritual to awaken to archetypal energies and rebalance energies. It is a process of going into a quiet meditative state to call upon the unconscious forces to surface. The image is "dreamed" into the mask as it is molded to one's face. Then through the art of designing the mask, the energies surface in the conscious mind enabling you to work with them in your life and awaken you to deeper and higher states of awareness. I am available to do individual one-on-one mask-making healings or mask-making workshops.
