Study with the illustrious Gamelan Çudamani in Pengosekan this summer. In the village of Pengosekan, Ubud, Bali, across the street from the temple, is a family compound that is the home to Çudamani. Comprised of virtuoso musicians and dancers, Çudamani has a working philosophy of a sanggar–that is; their work is dedicated to the communal and spiritual life of the village. The company is famous for teaching, performing, and preserving the rich and rare classical Balinese repertoire. At the same time the active composers in their ranks creatively contribute to both traditional and contemporary music and dance projects.
In addition to intensive classes with master artists/teachers, the program will include: visits to temple ceremonies and sacred sites; observations of a wide range of performances including Çudamani rehearsals; and daily encounters with the local artists and the community. This program is a rare opportunity for participants to be a part of one of the most vibrant and creative cultures in the world.
