InterPlay Twin Cities welcomes Malawian InterPlayer, Masankho Banda, Friday evening November 1st & Saturday, November 2nd for The Cultures of Peace Workshop and performance that celebrates that multiple ways, truths, people and art forms can interplay to create a new thing, a culture of peace, a place where ordinary people are testaments to the possibilities of a multicultural, inter-generational, multi - faith world. Passionate, funny, honest, everyday people learn to create music, song, dance and story all on the spot using the practice of InterPlay's easy-to-learn improvisational forms of dance, music and story-telling that give performers and audiences access to their full range of experience and expression. The results will lift spirits!

Cost: $25 for Friday evening only, $15 for Saturday evening performance, $90 for Saturday all day (plus performance), or $100 for full event
