John Mashar is one of Australia's newest poets but is already making waves through his incredible performances.This young man's work is characterized by powerful sensory imagery which enables his audience to vividly imagine and perfectly envision characters, moods, and settings.
He utilizes his strong stage presence combined with the rich lyrical quality of his pieces to entertain, share experiences and most importantly, critique the world around him.
The wide scope of topics covered in different poems is a reflection of his diverse interests and life experiences: South Sudanese born, Egyptian raised Australian who's been exposed to so many languages, ideas and people from all walks of life.
Driven by a burning desire to make use of his creativity through different mediums, this writer turned poet is now exploring film making with Thula Thula (a play written by Jeni Jeni Bezuidenhout and directed by Sebastian Bertoli) being his acting debut. http://lamama.com.au/2019-explorations/thula-thula
