TeAda Productions is a nomadic theater rooted in the stories of immigrants, refugees and indigenous peoples. Committed to healing, by honoring the lives of the displaced, exploited and overlooked. TeAda will present the Pasifika Artists Exchange on June 20, 2026 at 4:30 pm, at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center at the Wende Museum.
Pasifika Artists Exchange is a program focused on enriching, enhancing, and advancing Pasifika Arts & Performance. This culmination performance features devised ensemble theatre work created during a week-long residency with Pasifika artists exchanging stories and creative expressions. Ensemble members are trained under lead artists Misa Tupou, Kathy Martin, and Kiki Rivera.
Pae in ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i means to cluster, group or to land or come ashore. This program hopes to pae our Pasifika Artist community in a time where our cultures, lands, and peoples are most needed and beneficial to the future we are forging.
Our artistic process starts and ends with conscious listening, community building, and creative courage. TeAda’s Methodology offers transformative and impactful acts of service including workshops, performances and other community engagements.
TeAda’s programs include: CreAtive Healing Lab workshop series, Theater for Asylum Seekers, and our current international touring production Nothing Micro About Micronesia.
This performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission, with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment and Culver City Arts Foundation.
