Marya Stark and Sedona Swan Soulfire present their newest body of work: The Rose of Resistance
A live theater show featuring original music from Marya Stark and visionary dance choreography by Swan Sedona.
With special opening guests Miriam Peretz & Nava Dance Company
We offer this show in devotion to the collective rising of women awakening the warrioress within, standing strong in sacred resistance to all that violates life and diminishes that which is sacred.
This is an artistic story of how we stand strong as The Resistance and how we are forged through resistance… how moving through challenge strengthens us, clarifies us, and calls us into deeper truth.
We invite our community to join us in this ritual theater experience that elevates the Sacred Feminine, through reverence for women, the children, the Earth… and all of humanity.
Together, with a multidisciplinary cast of embodiment artists and musicians, we weave stories of breaking the silence, unshackling from what keeps us small, and rising into our full empowered, liberated expression.
This is the awakening of the matriarchal roar… the embodiment of The Rose of Resistance.
Featuring some of Marya’s most beloved anthems and ballads, along with a powerful new body of work created especially for this show.
Rose Of Resistance Cast:
Brietta Leader, Georgia Lombardi,, Lisa Lincoln, Maya Rose Hernandez, Daniel Berkman, Fa Jun
Featuring Local Dancers Trish Hurrem, Valeria Carrol, Sofia Rojas and more!
“i hear her coming, she’s summoning that which cannot hide
she is the Rose of Resistance protecting sacred life
her voice unleashes a piercing lion throated call
and all who would not fear join her matriarchal roar!”

Marya's Bio:
"In the space between art and persona there is magic. Marya Stark lives there. Drawing from influences as diverse as Classical, Broadway, Indie-Pop, Storytelling and Folk,
Marya crafts a sound that is wholly original. As a multi-instrumentalist and multi-media enchantress, she creates the way she breathes; without choice or hesitation.
She is a carrier of myth, mystery, and medicine songs with which she embarks to create a ceremony of the human condition, taking her audience on lucid journey's through the caverns of the soul.
Marya is dedicated to the art of voice, song craft and archetypal embodiment, supporting her students in the joys of Courting the Muse. She is enchanted by kindness, nuance, synchronicity and soul remembrance, and is a life-long chaser of waterfalls."
