Rooted in Black performance traditions, Dr. Truscott’s SoulWork methodology centers ancestral knowledge and contemporary consciousness to nurture artists and culture workers through a culturally responsive studio practice that expands creative power. As a playwright/director, she creates a capella musicals, “NeoSpirituals,” that span and straddle time between histories and the present to envision
and encourage more just, equitable futures.
