TeAda Productions is hosting its second ever seasonal CreAtive Healing Lab (CHL) in Los Angeles, which will take place between the months of October 2025 - June 2026. As part of this series, guest teaching artists will facilitate workshops that combine the arts, social justice, and collective healing. The intention of CHL is to co-create a sanctuary-third place for community to gather, process current events and futures, build, and heal through sharing space, and creating art.
All workshops will be IN-PERSON (unless moved virtually for safety reasons) in West Los Angeles, spanning October 2025 through June 2026.
As part of CHL, we are co-hosting workshops on:
October 18, 2025 (10am - 12pm PST)
October 25, 2025 (10am - 12pm PST)
November 1, 2025 (10am - 12pm PST)

We will use simple somatic techniques to explore how to allow all emotions to move through us without resistance, shame or guilt. We will focus on how to recognize in the body when emotional sensation is present, name it, tune into it and allow it to reach expression in a healthy way.

TeAda Productions is a nomadic theater of color rooted in the stories of immigrants and refugees. Through theater workshops and performances, TeAda is committed to healing and honoring the lives of the displaced, exploited and overlooked. Our artistic process starts and ends with conscious listening, community building, and creative courage. TeAda began in 1996 as a means of providing opportunities for people of color to develop their artistry and bring marginalized voices into the public dialogue. TeAda’s plays are developed through community-based story gathering and a devised ensemble theater process. Current touring plays developed through this process include Refugee Nation, (the 1st nationally touring play about Laotian Refugees in the U.S.) and Global Taxi Driver (a play based on the stories of Taxi Drivers and the effects of technology on this gateway profession). TeAda’s Creative Self Care workshop series is entering it’s 3rd year at the UCLA Labor Center in downtown L.A.
