 F irst Peoples' Community Center       In the planning and development stage, our group met on 26th September 2025, during our Caribbean Lab class (Figure 1). We discussed each member’s name and address to help us discuss and plan when and how to visit the First Peoples’ Community Center. We then selected a date for the visit that matched the First Peoples’ Activity Week schedule and prepared questions to ask during our visit on Saturday, October 11th, 2025.   Figure 1: Picture of first group meeting to plan our steps of investigation      During the execution stage, our group gathered at the Arima Police Station on Broadway Street, Arima, at 10:30 a.m. After learning that the event was postponed to later that day at 3:00 p.m., we decided to visit the Hyarima Statue located at the corner of Hollis Avenue and Railway Road in Arima, as shown in Figure 2.

 Final Report       Spicy Palau Our group project brought together four creative fields, Theatre, Visual Arts, Music, and Dance to explore and honor the cultural heritage of the First Peoples of Trinidad and Tobago. By combining our different talents, we aimed to create a performance that was meaningful, respectful, and rooted in storytelling. Each discipline played a unique role in shaping the final presentation, from the movement of the performers to the visual design, the rhythm of the music, and the direction that guided the narrative.

As theatre students, we used our directing skills to help make the performance moving, even with limited space and time. Wanting to ensure everyone got their time to be in the center. Part of our presentation wa...
