WOW Cafe Theater
Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 8pm
Tickets are $15
During this premier weekend, the following artists will also present new one-woman shows:
The wonderful Tantra Zawadi will also present Soldier Blues, an exploration through word, music, and movement of the battlefield of the soul and heart. Soldier Blues is an interpretation through poem and movement, that examines the hearts and circumstances of Americans who enlist in the armed forces because they are patriotic, unemployed or in search of stability. The accompanying original sound track explores the “blues” which also has deep roots in American history. The music progresses as does the poem/video presentation; from the mother who is praying for her soldier girl, the lover-man longing for his woman back in the states, to the married mother who left her family behind.
Soldier Blues, written and performed by Tantra-zawadi, was inspired by American war veteran/poet Xavier Kemp and is a call for America to help our soldiers recover when they return home.Tantra-zawadi, an award winning international poet, recording artist and filmmaker, is a native of Brooklyn, New York. She has performed in South Africa, London and Germany. Her new documentary, “A Silent Genocide A Brief Insight Into HIV/AIDS” offers a glimpse into the lives of those living with HIV along with commentary by Betty Makoni, a 2009 Top Ten CNN Hero and founder of Girl Child Network Worldwide. To learn more about Ms. Zawadi or to view her documentary, please visit her on-line at www.tantra-zawadi.com.
Sokhna Heathyre Mabin will also introduce her new performance, Snapshots from the Underground Forrest. The piece is a choreo-collage of how the artist deals with betrayal, abandonment, revelation, joy, birth, healing & maintenance to and of a higher level of being. Snapshots is a melange of music, dance, vocal soundings, poetry, and of Sokhna’s reality – be it real or semi-fictitious. Working her way through love, betrayal, and be(lie)fs by way of daily commitments, Sokhna intuits how to alchemically transform the mundane to the sacred. Sokhna Heathyre Mabin is a multi-artistic performance artist who uses her life experience, dance, music & trust to express her revelations. She is also the mother of two multitalented, passionate artists, a doula, & yoga instructor.
