WHO WE ARE
Upcoming Workshop
The Archaic Dramaturgy and Its Unknown 18 Exercises.
“Explore the joy of booking a time” and create a financial individual packet. Because our facilities belong to us, we offer a comfortable opportunity to book at a time that suits you best.
The Balinese language and its inherent creative power will occasionally " Inspire the way you hear your text in a new, exceptional and unfamiliar way to reveal its possibilities to produce a physical impact; to divide and distribute it actively in space".
In fact, you are playing with the 4 basic performance voices by using masks. But a teacher using that 4 mask in his performances will be with you during the process..
ACTING CLASS
Discover the serenity of Michael Chekhov's creative exercises, woven with the gentle rhythms of Balinese dance and music.
In our tranquil JOGLO house, a century-old haven of creativity and peace, imported, with permission, from Central Java.
From its beginning, it was initiated and blessed with a loving spirit that supports the participants and asks for highlighting commitment, consistency, and sincerity in defending truth, goodness, beauty, nobility, and the IMAGE OF WHOLE.
TAKSU EXPERIENCE
Dive into the fairy tale in yourself.
The Taksu experience is a 3-day study of the participants' individual Taksu universe.
Our theater house is blessed with atmosphere and Taksu, TWO ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS to awaken the Taksu energy in your body.
Later we introduce the dual perspective, which is one of the benefits when Taksu is reactivated in your body. The Double Perspective/ Icon.
Who sees who as student/teacher – teacher/student. A refined experience that is essential for the progress towards Taksu.
IMAGE HEALING
It is because of a brutal incident that we use phrases like “Image Healing” or “Painting Healing”.
ISENHEIM ALTAR, COLMAR, FRANCE.
That’s the masterpiece by Matthias Grünewald, painted around 1512–1516. It’s housed in the Musée d'Unterlinden in Colmar, France.
It was made for the Monastery of St. Anthony in Isenheim. The monks there cared for people with "St. Anthony's Fire" — a painful skin disease. So the art was meant to bring comfort to the sick.
It’s a multi-panel altar that changes for different feast days. The most famous part is the Crucifixion — with Christ’s body covered in sores to mirror what the patients were going through.
The contrast: When closed you get the dark, painful scenes. When opened for holidays it transforms into bright, joyful scenes like the Annunciation and Resurrection.
It’s basically art as medicine + theology all in one.
MASKS-PROGRAM
SHOW UP-DIVE IN-STAY AT IT
Bali Theatre Work Centre, is home to the world's largest and most unique collection of masks, all dedicated to the artists and the actors. The collection is owned and maintained today by members of the Theatre's teaching faculty.
But as a start to light the flame we use a small red innocent looking wooden nose placed on the tip of your nose.
It is hand carved and beautifully crafted by core Balinese mask makers... and we call them clown noses in everyday life, but don't be mistaken.
