Chinaka Hodge | From Hollywood to Harmony House

2026
Chinaka Hodge

From our Friends at Stanford Live!

“Every Wednesday during her 25–26 Stanford residency, Chinaka Hodge hopped off a plane from a Hollywood writer’s room to teach at Harmony House. As a Visiting Artist with the Institute for Diversity in the Arts, her course Hella Cinematic taught students that the best art comes from total authenticity and radical community. Hodge transformed her classroom into a creative incubator, connecting students with industry visionaries and proving that powerful drama must spring from a genuine place. Read more about Chinaka Hodge’s Residency in the Stanford Report.

Now, theIronheart executive producer and Oakland-born poet brings that exact ethos to the stage with a special staged reading at The Studio, All Greg’s Kids Come Home. When the oldest daughter in a household of top-performing neurodivergent individuals chooses complete unmasking during a reunion, unspoken rules unravel in real time.

Presented in collaboration with the Institute for Diversity in the Arts, this performance offers an intimate front-row seat to one of the Bay Area’s most compelling storytellers.
