In this workshop, Maiya will teach the fundamentals of psychological gestures (physical action that reveals intention) as we craft and refine the play within the play. Connecting our movement and intentions, Maiya will take us through exercises that help us get lost in the driving needs and desires of a character, while we find a fuller, more activated performance.

Lab space is limited, so admission is by lottery. To enter the lottery, email education@pcs.org with your choice of labs in order of preference.

Maiya was born in North Carolina and raised on southern sensibilities and hot biscuits. After performing in Off-Broadway theater and touring for two years nationally and internationally, she settled in LA to pursue her film and television career. Her recent credits include #SayHerName —The lives that should have been, Hard Justice, What., and The Midnight Menagerie. Maiya is abundantly grateful to be a part of JAW.

Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
