A Path Home
A Story of Thich Nhat Hanh
November 6 - 22, 2009
Created and performed by
Masanari Kawahara
Directed by Sandy Spieler
This intimate performance explores the life and work of Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese monk, poet, and peace activist. In the hands of master visual storyteller Masanari Kawahara, eloquent puppets weave an interpretation of the man and his teachings in this new production.
Based on writings by Thich Nhat Hanh, this active meditation juxtaposes the simple joys of life with the horrors of war and violence, and illuminates his influential path through both.
I've been working on my first shadow puppets show to do for my Spanish classes. It's a story based on the Warao legend on the creation of the sun and moon.
I know that I have to rehearse more and there are lots of things that I need to correct. But I would appreciate your feedback. I will add the narration in my next version.
As I said, this is my first shadow puppet show.. so be nice! :-)
Thanks! Gracias!
(can you guess what the story is about without hearing the narration?)
I love dancing. I’ve been dancing since I was a little kid. At El Lago del Bosque (Concordia Language Villages) we love dancing, too. We do some traditional dances and also line dances with Spanish music. Almost 10 years ago a groups of friends from ELDB (Kika, Alicia and Luz) and I decided to bring the fun of line dances from ELDB to the classroom and started presenting those dances at different conferences for World Languages Teachers: IWLA, MCTLC, Central States and soon ACTFL ‘09! The presentation is called Bailemos Juntos
Our presentation is usually a big hit because not only we teach fun dances but the four of us have so much fun presenting together that we fill the room with our energy and enthusiasm.
Sometimes I get to do Bailemos Juntos by myself. Usually at schools. Today I presented Bailemos Juntos at the U of M for the Spanish Field day of CIS (College in Schools). There were more than 500 high school students. I made them all dance!
This is my third year presenting for CIS Spanish Field day at U of M. I hope I have enough energy to do it for a few more.

Is social media a fad?
Or is it the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution?
Welcome to the World of Socialnomics
This is where I stayed this summer (2009) when I visited Miami very briefly with my sister. We were just a few steps from the beach!
Here you have 300 hundred high school students (teenagers!!!) dancing Magalenha during the presentation of Bailemos Juntos at U of M. This was part of CIS Spanish Field day on April 13th, 2009.

A one person show for small children investigating Minnesota's historic connection to water. This performance is bi-lingual (Spanish/English) and for preschool through 3rd grade youth. What makes a shower and what keeps all the grass so green? What can help you brush your teeth or dive into the deep? Water of course! The water that we know so well...or do we? Help Dr. Hardwater and his assistant Gotagorda answer questions about water, like where does it come from? and where does it go?
