On November 3, 2015 we held an educator's workshop at the Latin American & Iberian institute with Mexican maskmaker Felipe Horta. Horta is an internationally-renowned mascarero from Tocuaro, Michoacán, who has dedicated himself since the age of 12 to producing masks for the pastorela (Shepherd's Tale) danzas and other ceremonies celebrated in his community and throughout Mexico. Blending allegory with symbols and scripts from popular culture, these dynamic performances discuss and depict faith, sin, and salvation, and also comment upon the joys and struggles of everyday life in contemporary Mexico. Horta has introduced innovative, fine sculpting techniques into the thriving, vibrant art of mask making, and his exquisite masks are embraced and sought after by dancers and others in his community. Participants heard from Horta (in Spanish, with English interpretation), painted their own masks under Horta's guidance, and received copies of relevant curriculum materials and certificates of professional development.
