MANDI BEVANDO
Master Dabbler
A crafter’s brain, a performer’s enthusiasm, and a heart wedged in the wonderment of childhood provide the framework of Dabbling Brook. One could say that a background in performing arts and hands-on experience in elementary school classrooms led to the formation of this platform.
I resist the notion that I am alone in the desire to create. The title of daydreamer shall now be coupled with also being a maker and a doer. A space was needed, where individuals, can come together to put a crafty twist on storytelling and summon our imaginations.
Projects are brewed with the desire to create an inclusive community of accessible theater and creative experiences for audiences of a broad spectrum of viewers.
