A Word About Pricing:
Money, for those historically marginalized, can be a touchy issue. While I know this pricing is inaccessible for some, I am jointly acknowledging that as a Black woman who is the sole provider for my family, I must ensure that I am fairly compensated for my education, expertise, and labor. I encourage those of you are financially resourced to sponsor spots for those who are in need. This is communal care and resource sharing.

About the Facilitator:
Candice D'Meza (B.A. Black Studies, MPA) is African American-Haitian Queer Mother of three, Multidisciplinary Artist, and Spiritist whose body of work sits at the intersection of liberation politics, theatermaking, performance, and ritual. A previous member of the Actors Equity Union and award winning and nominated actor and playwright, her diverse artistic contributions span theater performance, literary genres, activism, dance, critical pedagogy, ritual, social practice, documentary, and experimental short films. Her work positions intersectional and intergenerational spiritual communities, decolonizing and re-indigenizing practices, alongside the uses of radical imagination. She uses the textures of grief, the world building of science fiction, afrofuturism, and fantasy, with the spiritual technologies of African and Diasporic African cosmologies to fashion multidisciplinary experiences based in these core values:
time is non-linear and fluid; liberation is ever-present and imminent; The Black Imagination is a site of marronage; ancestral veneration and ritual are time travel vehicles that aid us in orienting our personal and collective timelines towards freedom.
For the last four years, D’Meza has explored the intersections of spiritual technologies, quantum mechanics, and science fiction with the freedom-making movements of African descendent peoples. The projects, such as “A Maroon’s Guide To Time and Space” and the ongoing project “30 Ways To Get Free” have been grant-funded, commissioned, exhibited, published by arts organizations like The Catastrophic Theatre, The Boston Sci-Fi Film Fest, The Contemporary Art Museum of Houston, The Acentos Review, and many others.
Informed and inspired by her time over 250 hours in study with Dagara Elder Dr. Malidoma Patrice Somè, her Haitian lineage and the intersections with African American Black Church traditions and other indigenous and mystic traditions worldwide, she uses the immaterial to create freer worlds, liberated selves, and communities. Her work has been commissioned, featured, exhibited, or published by organizations such as the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston, Colgate University, Rice University, Latinx Playwrights Circle, The Acentos Review, DiverseWorks, Stages, Houston Press, Houston Chronicle, American Theatre Magazine.
A previously certified English teacher with experience teaching High School ELL English teacher, she now focuses on pedagogies of liberation, uses Theatre of the Oppressed as an artist pedagogy model, and emphasizes experiential and communal learning.
