Kerri Mubaarak

Kerri Mubaarak’s art is really about people and perspective. The subjects she explores through live performance are intended to change or challenge perceptions of people, culture and human experience.

Kerri chose theater as her medium because live action touches unspoken, unfiltered emotion—the aspect of the self that can’t be masked or hidden. The excitement felt when members of a band mount the stage and play the first chords of a fan favorite resonates. A scene that is familiar to one’s experience that pulls the character’s depth onto the stage can have a similar effect. “The gift of this medium,” she says “is that the raw emotion of human experience can be shared openly and in the safety of an audience.” She considers the craft a practice of both art and healing.

Kerri’s balance of skills was earned through teaching and managing people in a creative environments. She established Scrapmettle Entertainment Group to meet the desires and needs of a community whose lives were positively influenced by theater making.  Her team of emerging artists, directors and writers now use this platform to create new work, hone their craft or learn another aspects of the industry.

Kerri has written and produced a number of devised performances with her theater community in Greensboro, NC. She is an advocate for the arts, artists and the advancement of expressive art therapies.
