SoulWork is a comprehensive method for making performance and training artists developed by Dr. Cristal Chanelle Truscott from generations-old African American performance traditions and aesthetics.

SoulWork empowers artists to engage the fullness of their identities by cultivating creative power through an inclusive, culturally-responsive, and socially-conscious studio practice.

SoulWork Studio operates with intentions to:

  • Honor, preserve, and offer artistic training methods rooted in Black American performance traditions and aesthetics.
  • Provide access to SoulWork through online and in-person training opportunities for people of all levels of interest, skill, and ability; as well as continuing study, mentoring, and teacher training for SoulWorkers.
  • Manage the “Certified SoulWorker” Teacher Training Program and maintain public record of qualified practitioners, facilitators and teachers.
  • Support the SoulWorker Community with opportunities to gather, practice, and collaborate.
  • Advance SoulWork creative/intellectual property (IP), licensing, and trademarking in a way that respects and acknowledges Dr. Truscott’s creativity, research, labor, and expertise. We operate with intentions to  disrupt the historical and habitual plagiarism and appropriation that has consistently pillaged creative and intellectual production from Black American originators to great cultural and economic loss for generations. See Cite Black Women for more about the sociocultural dynamics of naming,  credibility and epistemic injustice.
