Vieve Radha Price
Vieve Radha Price (she/her) is the Founder and Co-Director of TÉA Artistry. Vieve launched TÉA in 2009 with the purpose of enhancing the scope, collaborative reach, and methodological rigor of Insight Artistry® – the approach to artistic creation, performance, and audience engagement she has been developing for over a decade. In 2017, she established the Insight Artists Collective. The insights of the Collective are collected in the Insight Artistry handbook. In 2021, TÉA became a nonprofit 501c3 organization. Most recently, and in collaboration with other Insight artists, Vieve engaged in a multi-year, multi-part Insight Art project focusing on the dynamics of race in the U.S, culminating in a month-long performance run of Being Chaka at the New Ohio Theatre where TÉA was the 2022-2023 Archive residency company. In 2025, Being Chaka was mounted at Burning Coal Theatre in Raliegh N.C.
During her leadership of TÉA, she has created and produced eight original, collaboratively devised Insight performance pieces. In the process, she has received several residencies including New Ohio/IRT, George Washington University, the Irondale Ensemble Theatre, The Straz Centre for the Performing Arts and The Actors’ Studio, and funding from the United Nations, Odyssey Networks, Intersections International, World Connect, The Brooklyn Arts Council, ART/NY, The Puffin Foundation, Mi-Yi Theatre to name a few.
Vieve began her career in the arts in 1995 as an actor and then as assistant artistic director at STAR Theatre. In 2000, she entered the Peace Corps, and upon returning to the U.S., she received the Sargent Shriver Peaceworker fellowship and completed two master’s degrees, one in Public Policy from the University of Maryland, and another in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from George Mason University. She subsequently worked at Search for Common Ground in Washington DC before founding TÉA with the goal of creating Insight theatre – group devised, community-based, theatrical performance pieces that integrate the Insight approach to conflict transformation with the performing arts.
Vieve is on the leadership team of Insight Collaboration Institute (ICI) and on the steering committee for the Neuroarts Reimagining project spearheaded by Johns Hopkins University.

Insight Artistry Workshop
In 2025, TÉA Artistry launched the Insight Artistry Workshop, gathering a cadre of six Insight artists to work on further developing the tenants of Insight Artistry and gaining the skills to offer a series of classes.
