Join us for an Immersive 3-day artmaking workshop co-facilitated by Isabel Bowser and Arulu Gallagher at RELAY Santa Fe. In this multidisciplinary process, we will use mask making and dance to explore our personal mythologies and inner worlds. Isa will guide us through dance practices to access creativity and imagination, enlivening the beings we will be depicting in our masks. Arulu will teach us how to design and construct our own paper mache masks in a fun and communal making space. We are excited to see you there!
All artistic skill levels are welcome! Prior painting & sculpting experience helpful but not required.
