SPECIAL EVENTS
As a Performer and Multi-Faith Minister, Mahara facilitates and MC’s Special Events that weaves experiences of harmony celebrating the earth cycles and ourselves as the ‘family of humankind’. Using ritual, music, drumming and dance, and often in collaboration with many of Vancouver’s finest musicians and performers, these events strengthen our collective knowing that, as the Hopi Elders said: “WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR”.

PLAYBACK THEATRE
Mahara is one of the founding members of Vancouver Playback Theatre. Based on oral storytelling traditions, Playback moves freely between the mythic and the mundane. An audience member
sits in the ‘teller’s chair’ where their real-life story is ‘played back’ by the actors. Improvisation, movement and music are used to create fascinating, funny, dramatic and deeply moving stories.

• kicks off conferences or conventions
• in-house training for corporations
• creative conflict resolution on campuses

Playback is a form of theatre unlike any other. It changes lives and enriches communities. www.westcoastplayback.org
