Balinese Mask and the Somatic Actor
Trusting the Body's Creative Genius
About the Workshop
Join us for an extraordinary one day journey of self-discovery and artistic transformation through the revolutionary mask work developed by Per Brahe and in collaboration with Ida Bagus Anom. This workshop is designed to help artists break through their creative and self-critical blocks, revitalizing the artistic spirit, and deepening creative autonomy. If you’re experiencing creative stagnation, overwhelm, or are simply in need of a profound artistic shake-up, this intensive is for you.​
