"San José has incredible artists, but not always enough accessible places for us to gather and make work. For her, PowerHouse represents a pivot from individual projects to shared spaces, where vulnerability can be a springboard for strength."
"This is a fully curated show in which the songs, poems and dances all tell a cohesive story to the theme of 'shedding. burning. arriving.' This event seeks to reflect the broader movement these founders embody: one where personal stories fuel collective ascent."
"Creason-Valencia, an Emmy-nominated documentarian and educator who was appointed as one of San Jose's newest creative ambassadors, approaches her work with enormous sincerity, as seen in her film, Stable Life, winner of Best Documentary at Cinequest, centered on the grueling work and resilience of women through the lens of healing and empowerment."
PowerHouse is a restored creative sanctuary in San Jose's arts district founded by filmmakers Tricia Creason-Valencia and Farran Tabrizi. The co-working hub and media production studio prioritizes creative support for women and gender-diverse entrepreneurs, offering an alternative to Silicon Valley's technology-focused culture. Creason-Valencia, an Emmy-nominated documentarian and San Jose creative ambassador, and Tabrizi, an experienced producer with eighteen years in the industry, created PowerHouse to address the lack of accessible gathering spaces for artists. The venue hosts events, workshops, and collaborative work sessions. During Women's History Month, PowerHouse will feature an evening of poetry and music with writer and musician Esther Young, exploring themes of personal transformation and collective empowerment through shared creative expression.
