The U-M 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.


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. 


Following this workshop, participants are also invited to stay for Pizza & Dialogue nearby in the Dance Building as well as participate in an informal sharing at 6:30pm
