JOIN US for our 2nd season of Pasifika Artists Exchange aka PAE (the weekend of December 5-6)! “PAE” in ōlelo Hawai‘i means to land ashore, or to cluster, or group. Gather with us in a time when Pasifika voices, arts, and play are most needed. The PAE program focuses on enriching, enhancing, and advancing Pasifika contemporary performance by utilizing devised theatre to support Pasifika artists exchanging stories and creative expression.

WORKSHOP DETAILS
The Pasifika Play Date workshops weave storytelling, play, theater, movement, and creative expression and ask participants to explore, and re-discover the capabilities of their voices, bodies, and imaginations.
We invite Pasifika community members to come have fun, play, and explore their inner theater person! Arrive as a community member and leave as a storyteller as we connect through theater games, storytelling practices, and activate our bodies, imaginations, and voices. Leave behind your inner critic and allow your creative self to take the lead.
The Compton workshop will be the 2nd of 2 weekend PAE workshops, with the 1st one taking place at Foisia Park (Carson, CA) the day before.
Participants will have the opportunity to try out for TeAda's Nothing Micro About Micronesia cast + ensemble, set to go on tour in Spring 2027!
Hope to see you there!
