Dara Brown

Dara Brown has worn many hats in their life so far, and is always making headspace to wear more. They’ve worked in education in many forms since 2013, and they’re so grateful to have found a place to bring their deep loves of storytelling, music, and teaching together.

Dara loves play in all its forms, and believes that when we invite ourselves and others to play, we get an opportunity to look at things differently and build exciting communities and worlds together.

When they’re not teaching, Dara loves using their imagination to practice energy work, narrate audiobooks, make up silly songs, and to create all sorts of playful pieces of art. They have a Bachelor’s of Music in Vocal Performance/Opera from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Dara lives in Rogers Park with their partner, JJ, and their beautiful angel of a cat, Waffles.
