🛶🇼🇸🌴🇵🇬🌊🇲🇵🌴🇬🇺🛶 One thing I've learned in this lifetime, It's always been about the journey, The destination will always come, As every journey must come to a close, To make way for an even greater one. ✨️ This journey with my fellow Pasifika community @i.ly3000 @nikiokuk @happaenby @napbak2reality @soultreesmusic @og_ova Misa & Kathy, facilitated by @teadaproductions and hosted by @wendemuseum is truly a journey for the soul, for us by us. Thank you for gracing us with your love work and the generosity to create space for each other! Special thanks to all my people who made an effort to attend and show out. Your love and support was deeply felt and I'm so glad you were there to witness the soul work that made this working masterpiece. Hu Guaiya Hao, Alofa Atu, Mi Laikim Yu! 💝 ✨️ Please enjoy our journey, but please, just take what you need, nothing more and nothing less. 📸 1) Telling the story of the evolution and journey of my given name, "Mana." Going into high school, as a working Polynesian Dancer, I was given the name, "Mana," by my Polynesian Dance School in Saipan, Tekana'hau Nui. Upon receiving this gift, "Mana" has certainly evolved with me throughout all of my journies. 📸 2 - 6) PIEAM @pieam_arts We take a trip to the museum to gather inspiration for our ensemble piece. Our objective was to find one object that spoke to us. My one object was of this picture, captured by an Army photographer during WWII, of a store that immediately reminded me of my dad's store where friends and family would gather together just as what seemed to be happening in the picture. This inspiration sparked the foundation for our main ensemble piece. 📸 7 - 10) Rehearsal Magic! Our talents and harmonies collaboratively coming together! 📸 11) We create our very first promo video for our culmination performance! 📸 12 - 16) Dress Rehearsal at the Wende Museum 📸 17 - 20) Showtime! We lay our hearts onto the stage, welcome our ancestors and invite you into our collective journey! Saina Ma'åse! 💝 🛶🇼🇸🌴🇵🇬🌊🇲🇵🌴🇬🇺🛶 What did you take with you? What did you decide to leave? Join me on the Stories for more! #thejourney #tellyourstory #pasifika

For the past 9 years, TeAda Productions and Program for Torture Victims (PTV) have collaborated in a residency program that engages recently arrived immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. The program provides the means for participants to safely explore their lived experience, inhabit the world of creative expression, expand their community connections, and share their story through performance. The program also becomes a powerful exchange of wisdoms, and provides a sanctuary space to adjust, adapt, create, and heal. This season’s Theater For Asylum Seekers Public Sharing on November 7th will feature stories, spoken word, movement and theater pieces written, arranged, and performed by immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers centering ideas of migration, struggle, transition, belonging, identity, freedom, hope, and home. Link in bio to RSVP!

Yesterday, as one of our last workshops with Creativity Lab, we had an absolutely joyful time, meeting members of our Southern California Library community, and reconnecting with old friends. We were led by the amazing people from @teadaproductions, Ova and Soultree, who led us through a magnificent progression of activities to help us better connect with the community we serve. Everyone participated and contributed, and I think we all left, feeling a little lighter and a little more inspired and ready to serve the public. Thank you TeAda Productions, and thank you to @californiastatelibrary for generously funding this learning experience through CALL Academy for local learning! #communitybuilding #publiclibrariesmatter #creativitytakescourage @lbcitylibrary

This is what community looks like! All these faces. All these people who showed up for Nothing Micro About Micronesia. Who came to witness. Who came to hold space. Who came to say: We see you. Your story matters. When a community gathers like this in a room together, breathing together, witnessing each other's truths, something shifts. Something heals. This is what TeAda and the Micronesian community created together. Thank you to everyone who came. Who showed up. Who understood that presence is a form of love, and that our job as a community is to witness each other's stories and celebrate each other's resistance. This is the work. This is the gathering. This is us, together!

Nothing Micro About Micronesia (NMAM) developed by @teadaproductions, April 2024, UH - Kennedy Theatre. Diss snippet below. Enter the @kalihiverse thru @teadaproductions’ portals & commitment to our communities thru art. Belonging is made through the choice to return & to persist. ​“TeAda Productions offers one powerful entry point into these adult reconfigurations across the Kalihi-verse because it holds institutional, communal, translocal, and intimate worlds together simultaneously. Moving between Hawaiʻi, Los Angeles, and Micronesia to develop NMAM while remaining grounded in relationships formed through Hawaiʻi communities, TeAda demonstrates how belonging extends beyond multi-sited places through enduring friendships, mentorship networks, storytelling practices, and ongoing forms of reciprocity that sustain intimacy and connection across distance. The lineage connecting Kalihi’s @tshirttheatre to the long-term theater-making practices of TeAda Productions reveals how youth cultural production can be refined, expanded, and sustained across adulthood. My own participation in Nothing Micro About Micronesia as a community member and a T-Shirt Theatre alumna sits within this continuity. As a second-generation Filipina from Kalihi whose family traces its roots to the seas shared between the Visayas and Mindanao and to Sakada laborers who worked the ʻEwa plantations, I move through higher education and professional life while continuing to carry relationships forged through similar migration histories, language, labor, and everyday practices of care. Although I am not Micronesian, performing alongside Micronesian, Kānaka Maoli, Filipino, Samoan, and Lao friends placed me within a shared field of Oceanic relation shaped by interconnected histories of displacement, colonialism, militarism, anti-immigrant racism, labor exploitation, and survival. Like the Chuukese Waikumu chant moving between performers and audience, the Kalihi-verse in adulthood continues through return, recognition, and response.” Check out and support @teadaproductions’ ongoing commitment to immigrant and refugee stories onstage! #MessinWidParadise #Kalihiverse

Correction: The date at the bottom of each artist slide should be 2026, not 2016. While good art often takes years to produce, the NPN Creation Fund has not found a way to go back in time and fund projects a full decade before they're announced. We regret the error, and our designer has asked us to apologize to everyone who likes numbers or accurate dates. – NPN is proud to announce the 18 artists and collectives of the 2026 Creation Fund, which supports the development of new artistic works that advance racial and cultural justice. Through this year’s Creation Fund, NPN will distribute $319,000 in direct funds plus co-commissioner matches from nearly 50 co-commissioning organizations to seed combined budgets expected to exceed $900,000.
