Production
The production of Maisa was an amazing collaboration between Hawai'i based Twiddle Productions and Chamorro Studies in the Guam Department of Education. Throughout the course of the year long project Twiddle artists planned three production trips to Guam. The "Twiddles" as they were affectionately nicknamed also worked closely with cultural leaders and practitioners as well as local actors and artists to bring Maisa to life.
