SUMMARY:The Cosmic Dance of Hindu and Buddhist Deities
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 20\n3:00 p.m. Registration and Reception with Speaker\n3:30 p.m. Lecture \nMore often than the sacred beings of other cultures\, the gods of Hinduism and Buddhism dance. They express their creative and destructive energies through fluid rhythmic movements\, setting the pulse of the universe. In benign moods they dance gracefully in divine play. In stern moods they dance with a force that\, if fully unleashed\, could destroy worlds. Sculpture and paintings depicting deities including Shiva\, Krishna\, and the elephant-headed Ganesha\, together with video clips of dance performances\, will illuminate these ideas. \nThis lecture will be given by Forrest McGill. McGill is the Wattis Senior Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. He has worked for forty years as a museum administrator and a teacher\, curator\, researcher\, and writer in Asian art.
