Mas Ruscitadewi. Theatre, philosophy Embodied

Aside from her academic studies in philosophy Mas Ruscitadewi also studied European theatre or in other words dramaturgy. Her dissertation became some of the tools that shaped many artists.

“Aside from European theatre I also studied Balinese dance. It is through both these experiences that I found the meeting point between the two. Within Western training, I found the method. So I use the Western methodology to find the essence that is within our traditional art. That essence is philosophical creativity.”....

You can say that when it comes to performance art, the West is through mind (Rajas) and the East is through the body (Tamas). When you bring this together it becomes spirit. What I like to say is the Yoga in Theatre.
