Artist Bio

Therapeutic storyteller and body psychotherapist Mera Reyes has shared her performances and led workshops in countries like Spain, French Polynesia, EUA , England  and Peru. Her audiences and students experience movement and surprising journeys through her loving craft and singing voice. Her performances and workshops encourage participants to understand storytelling as a performing art through chromatic language, play, masks, dance, song, spontaneous creations, and contact with the listener.

She has worked with Downstage, One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo, and Arts Commons Education as facilitator and conducted mentorship for The Shakespeare Company, Canadian Mental Health Association, and ATA Summer Convention 2023 and acted as a workshop leader for the Education Program at Mount Royal University October 2023. Mera believes storytelling reinforces the importance of listening to one another and is a path for human development, inclusion, reconciliation, healing, and understanding.
