Days & Knights of King Arthur was originally part of Wog Harts School of Natural Magic... and now part of M3PLAY. You can visit the Wog Harts GALLERY archives.
 
When Darlene Jenson orginally created Wog Harts School of Natural Magic, she modeled it after Harry Potter's Hogwarts. Using texts like Wizardology or Dragonology, and classes like Potions, Spirit Arts Class, Divination etc., a wonderfully, magical school was created... a school where we spoke and acted in the mythical and imaginal realm... Though Darlene is now focusing her full attention on Theatre Adventure Program, M3PLAY Magic Myth Mystery is a continuation of the magic that she began, for her son Elijah.

Though M3PLAY includes more diverse mythic and legendary characters and symbols of yesterday and today, we continue to find our otherwordly home in the same location and to delve into the mysteries and magic as we did at Wog Harts.

Jeanne.Marie Sutherland teaches mythic / sacred /sword /Goddess dance, mythic costuming, empowerment arts, bardic arts (storytelling, story craft, theatre arts, basic rhythms) and compassionate communication and power sharing council. Jeanne.Marie uses the fundamentals of different cultural dance using the symbolism and movement in expression. Her training as a creative arts therapist and her participation in a consensus community for several years, has given her a unique background to teach communication and decision-making skills in team building. She is often engaged in "mythic consciousness" which guides her in creating an environment filled with larger than life archetypes and metaphors. more

Andy has appeared as a dance musician, teacher and song leader at many well-known traditional music and dance camps throughout the United States. In addition to maintaining a schedule of concerts, residencies and community dances, Andy teaches young people how to get involved in playing traditional contra dance music. “It gives me a warm feeling when I see how accessible this music is to young musicians. I’m trying in my own way to see these musical traditions continue to flourish.” more
