by Mary Koepke Amato One rainy afternoon, my son Max turned into a bird. Not an actual live bird, of course. We had made simple bird masks out of paper, and when he put on his mask something magical happened. His arms spread out; his feet beat a wild rhythm; and his voice warbled a bold new song. My very shy three-year-old guy puffed up with power. And when he removed the mask, his face radiated intense joy, as if he?d been given wings. Since that enchanting day, masks have been as important to us as crayons or blocks. Hanging on hooks about our kitchen are more than 75 faces: pig, jackal, robot, wolf, and more. Primarily we use them to act out familiar folktales and stories of our own creation. My kids ? and other kids over for play dates ? call these improvisations "mask games."

Masks can be a very powerful means of communication and form of hiding our true self and identity. We all wear many masks in our daily lives, the masks we present at work, to our friends, family, partner, child are all very different. These masks are in a sense invisible but so familiar. There are times when we choose to remove these masks, such as during a therapeutic session, or when we've had too much wine or sampled other forms of drugs, then we reveal the masks we keep so well hidden. In making our own masks we can make visible those many sides of ourselves we keep so very private. Mask making is therefore an amazingly powerful way of unlocking our inhibitions and allowing the varying sides of ourselves to emerge.
