In May, local dancer I Madé Moja leads the Dance Dialogues experience with demonstrations of Balinese dance.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
I Madé Moja comes from Batuan, a village in Bali known for its classical music, dance, fine woodcarving, and unique painting style. Moja’s father, renowned painter I Madé Budi, passed on the ink and watercolor technique of Batuan to his son, who has taken it in new directions. Moja‘s work has been shown internationally and featured in numerous books detailing the art and culture of Bali. In addition to teaching and experimenting with new themes in his painting, he is a primary dancer with Gamelan Sekar Jaya, an acclaimed Balinese orchestra and dance group.
