Bhutanese Tshechu Mask Dance Freeze

Explain that Tshechu festivals feature masked monastic dancers performing slow, deliberate movements.

While the music plays, everyone moves through the space in slow, exaggerated, ceremonial steps.

When the music cuts out, freeze immediately in whatever pose you are in.

The caller walks around and gently tries to make frozen players laugh or wobble without touching them.

Anyone who breaks their freeze is out for that round.

Restart the music for the remaining players and repeat until one dancer remains.
