"What the audience saw when a dancer looked through the eyes of the mask
was the Goddess Herself, an ancient and yet utterly contemporary
presence, looking across time, across the miles."
Diane Darling, Director, Playwright
I am honored to be presenting a slide show and talk at the Virtual 2021 Parliament of World’s Religions about the “Masks of the Goddess” Project.
After studying sacred
mask traditions in Bali, I was inspired to create a Collection of 35 multi-cultural masks, which I dedicated as “Temple Masks” to the many faces of the worldwide
Divine Feminine. The Collection travelled to communities throughout the U.S.A. in
collaboration with Priestesses, Dancers, Storytellers and Ritualists for over
20 years, bringing the Goddesses to life through the magic of Invocation and
Theatre. The Project was concluded in 2019 with an Exhibit at Her Church in San
Francisco.
I was, indeed, a privilege to collaborate with so many people dedicated to the Return of the Goddess. No artist could ask for more.
