ART DIRECTION
Creative Direction & Alchemy
It is my vision to continuously create and perform revolutionary and inspiring multi-disciplinary performing art.
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist and collaborator dedicated to creating revolutionary performing arts experiences that challenge the very notion of identity. My work explores the intersection of art, spirituality, and personal transformation, beginning with a deep examination of the illusions that often define us. Through collaboration, I help artists and audiences confront limiting beliefs and unlock their full potential, transforming darkness into hope and uncertainty into vision. My performances are not merely entertainment; they are vehicles for profound self-discovery and emotional growth, guided by a contemporary interpretation of ancient wisdom. My mission is to take you on a journey that transcends the ordinary, leaving a lasting impact.
SERVICES
PERFORMER
Experience a performance that doesn’t just entertain but heals and inspires. With a voice trained across opera, musical theatre, and primal sound—and movement rooted in ballet and experimental dance—I deliver immersive, boundary-blurring performances. Each piece is a ritual—raw, authentic, and deeply moving.
CHOREOGRAPHER
My choreography weaves together breath, body, and voice to create transformative movement experiences. Rooted in the Free Your Natural Voice methodology, I design dynamic, multidisciplinary pieces that invite both performers and audiences into a journey of emotional release and creative freedom.
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
I collaborate with artists to conceive visionary performances that disrupt conventional identities. Drawing from ancient spiritual wisdom and contemporary performance art, I guide productions toward emotional impact and self-discovery. My direction transforms darkness into light, uncertainty into clarity—inviting both creator and audience into a powerful alchemy of transformation.

It is Multi-Disciplinary Performance Art – Leaping Through the Veil
“A transcendental journey through the human heart.” — Dilraba
“It was me, on stage. A shared catharsis.” — Inna Vilenska
“Maya accurately embodies the alchemical flow of emotion.” — Jesse McKay
”Unforgettable, raw, poetic.“ — Jacek Skrzypczynski
”An intense pleasure to collaborate with.“ — Enrique Pardo
”Profound, sincere, minimalist, and deeply moving.“ — Delphine
A spontaneous, dramatic and beautiful leap into the space, the stage, the void! The art precedes the artist. She/it takes form before our eyes. She shapes, she speaks, she cries, hollers and dances. She bares all, stripped of the masking faces. The raw lived pain and passion of being a being. Eros, love, the divine mover of mountains and rivers, moves through each of us in her. A song of loneliness and fear pulls out our own passionate plea to fully live it all, and survive the pilgrimage. And so transmute the suffering into the freeform of us in communion. We walk out breathless with catharsis and awe.

IT IS WHAT IT IS
A new genre of performance art re-awakens Rumi’s Poetry with gusto! Original concept and design by artistic director and choreographer Maya Lewandowsky.
Based on the philosophy of 13th century poet, Rumi, this trans-disciplinary performance odyssey is a fight between death & birth, climaxing with freedom, revealing the human enigma and the understanding of where we come from and where we are going.
Experience the fullness of all your senses as you join La Caravan Dance Theatre in this live, trans-disciplinary collaboration which includes the use of new media and projection mapping technology in addition to poetry, original musical composition, movement, vocal experimentation, costume design and installation art.
THE ORIGIN: A poetic weaving of words, sounds, images, movement and storytelling.
IT IS WHAT IT IS tells the metaphorical story of the personal and collective transformation of seven characters. The piece is built from the original re-workings of thirteen poems by 13th century Sufi mystic, Rumi. These poems serve as both inspiration and scaffolding for the characters’ journey towards states of greater awareness, joy, surrender, responsibility and the recognition of autonomy & inter-dependence.
Artistic Director Maya Lewandowsky, the performers and artistic staff used the framework of Joseph Campbell’s ‘Hero’s Journey’ and archetypes from the Tarot and the ‘family mandala’ to build both myth and the mundane into the work.

CONTRAST
A 60 minute show that aims to touch spectators in the most intimate manner by exploring contradictions related to human existence through music, movements, expression, colors, and emotions. The dancers use the body intelligence and grace of ballet, but they break it to contemporary movements. The broken classical point work combined with “airy” costumes creates an aesthetic feel of flow and air. Contrast is designed to share an edgy atmosphere and demonstrate tension of balances, aesthetics, and subtlety.

A PLACE TO BEGIN

In a neutral black box theatre, music, dance, live cello and voice interact with the audience in a playful design, architecting emotions and creating a space of movement. Choreography: Maya Lewandowsky

THE DYBBUK
A hypnotic journey of love, obsession and surrender. A Dybbuk in Hebrew means “glue”, “attachment” or “clinging”. It is a spirit that possesses a human being.
This performance is an adaptation of S. Ansky’s 19th century folk legend, “The Dybbuk.” A woman is given as a bride by her father to an older wealthy business man “an arranged marriage”, however she is in love with her young true love who dies suddenly of a broken heart when he receives this news. On her wedding day, his spirit enters her body to reclaim her. She is empowered by his love to voice her truth and say ‘no’ to family and society’s traditions. This dance opera expresses the themes, emotions and the struggle between the earthly plane and the various spirit realms of the story.
This production illustrates the importance of transcending our belief systems and revealing what is left beyond the body and beyond our thoughts. Incorporating interactive media projection, contemporary dance fused with the technical grace of ballet, and opera in an immensely theatrical presentation.

THE CORRIDOR
The corridor is a 55 minute immensely theatrical, intriguing, edgy and inviting dance performance. The corridor is the stage of in between. The Corridor show happens in the silence between the tones, where music is created, in the freeze between the movements. The show is a journey of the heart and the spirit to an imaginary universe composed of primal movements and expressions of energy and passion.

EXPERIMENT ON THE ADAGIO
A 12 minute journey of dance and live vocals. Experiment on the Adagio is an exploration of how humans have mastered the mechanics of music and dance. This piece reflects our journey from childhood to mastery and our need to breakthrough to unknown ground, while simultaneously maturing into accepting the constraints of the conditioned journey. We are trained to perform under certain rules of controlled order and discipline while the inner self longs to breakout into movement that abandons structure.
Free from any specifications, with the freedom to just be… be a dancer without the image of being a dancer, a singer without the image of being a singer, an actor without the image of being an actor…to being or not at all…
