Me

Mariam Mhina is a creative who is passionate about building an acting career and using her voice to impact her community positively and to speak for those who cannot. She is self-motivated to continuously improve her craft as an actress, voiceover artist, musical theatre performer and singer.

 

"I am usually asked, “What if you put in all this effort and you fail?”

 

What if I do all this and I succeed?

So many times we focus on the idea of failure and why something is impossible because that is just an easier path to take. It’s easier to say you will never achieve your grand ambitions because logic and all the data says so. As long as I am working towards what I love, I am far closer to living my dreams than failure."

AHSHA

Played as one of the Queen's handmaidens in the play, 'Asha',  which is about Women in leadership and power dynamics within the society.

ASHA taught Mariam the importance of being content with the character, one receives, whether it is a role with multiple lines, just a few or none. Every character has their place in a

play and a moment or two to shine on stage.

 

What matters is how an actor portrays the character rather than the title of character. Main role or not, an actor should always put their best foot forward and deliver to the audience. This is definitely what Mariam lives by.

AIDA

Played Aida, a Nubian Princess taken into slavery to become the Queen's maiden. Aida was loving, vulnerable and fierce.

 

This was Mariam's first time to play a character that is mostly terrified and vulnerable on stage. It taught her the art of not only studying a character but the context of the play in order to tap into these

deep emotions.

 

The musical aspect of the play pushed Mariam to learn how to sing high notes whilst not losing the movement required on stage.
