Treasa embodies values of community, connection, and creativity in everything she does.
My life’s work lies in connecting with folks through experiences of communal creative uplift, whether that be from centre stage or behind the scenes. I’m a theatre and music-maker, group facilitator, arts educator, emerging administrator, mover and shaker—and also I love rhyming and alliteration.
