Caribbean Mask Making

Learn about the masks of the world in this mask-making workshop with Dancing Drum. This session will focus on making a Vejigante-style mask from Puerto Rico, using paper, paint, and a variety of colorful materials. Participants will learn about the use of this style of mask in Caribbean culture, listen to plena and bomba music that is traditionally played for the mask dance, and create their own wearable mask to take home with them. This workshop is for children ages 6 and up.
