The Center for World Performance Studies welcomes guest artists Ova Saopeng and Stephanie “Soultree” Camba from TeAda Productions, the Los Angeles-based nomadic theater rooted in the stories of immigrants, refugees and indigenous peoples for a week-long residency.

At this workshop, come play in a safe and fun environment and discover the untapped capability of your voice, body and imagination. Through theater and storytelling techniques the TeAda Methodology instills mindfulness, builds teamwork, and explores cultural connections. TeAda approaches this process by honoring each person individually as a community collectively. This workshop will fine tune your listening, observational and performance skills. Participants will be encouraged to engage, move and share. No experience necessary!

Workshop Location: Walgreen Drama Center, Studio 2 (1435-WDC)

Workshop participants are invited to join TeAda Co-Artistic Director, Ova Saopeng, and Stephanie “Soultree” Camba, Diaspora Programs and Operations Director, for conversation and pizza following the open workshop.
