Come celebrate Twin Cities InterPlay with international performing artist Masankho Banda. The Minnesota community is overjoyed to welcome this beloved InterPlay leader and cultural mover & shaker who will deeply & playfully facilitate our first in-person day-long community gathering in over three years. Join Masankho for this day-long retreat to explore various InterPlay forms (movement, story, song and dance) culminating in a wonderful Body Spirit Celebration. InterPlay is a creative, engaged way to unlock the wisdom of the body, using birthright practices which include stillness, affirmation and witnessing. Masankho is a multi-disciplinary Performing Artist, Certified InterPlay Leader, Educator and PeaceBuilder. He brings many unique perspectives to his work around the world. He learned the fine arts of storytelling and dance from his Malawian culture, spending many long days and nights listening to stories and dancing to music that captivated his mind, shaped his being, nourished his soul and strengthened his spirit. Using performing arts Masankho motivates and inspires people of all ages to work together to bring about peace, social justice and cultural understanding. In 1997, he started UCanDanc—African Healing Arts to bring his passion for dance and storytelling to communities around the world.
