the peoplehood

the peoplehood is a multicultural, nomadic theater company and community celebrating diversity through the development and performance of different words.  ​lots and lots of different words.  mostly by jaisey bates. 

 

we invite you to join our journey

that we may learn to walk

this beloved ground,

together, in peace

the peoplehood is currently based in los angeles, california, the traditional unceded home of the KIZH, TONGVA and CHUMASH peoples.  we wish to recognize and honor the original caretakers of this land and their descendants past, present and future.
