Masques

Masque: "refers to a form of indoor courtly entertainment popular during the Renaissance that was characterized by song, spectacular display, and dance.  The costumed dancers in a masque danced first among themselves and then chose partners from among the spectators, blurring the distinction between actors and audience."

This series explores the choreographed rhythms and patterns that both conceals and reveals our connections to our past. Masks, ceremony, and symbols blur the lines between the before and the after, the face and the place.  It is a celebration and a festival performance that affirms spiritual bonds to our ancestry and the power of being centered.

For some pieces, I've written an Haiku--a short 3 line poem.
