ABOUT trEd

trEd Performing Arts Company utilizes a unique form of athletic movement, original music, and live sound, to deliver a message of breakthrough and freedom. We believe divinely inspired creativity combined with intercession releases the reality of God’s love in a powerful way. trEd’s expression conveys elements of spiritual warfare and authority that we have in Christ.

As a performing arts troupe, trEd is committed to equipping and training performers and artists who understand their identity and accomplish their dreams. We hope to inspire an army of believers to advance the kingdom of God aggressively as they understand the reality of their identity in Christ.

We have traveled extensively across the U.S. as well as to 32 nations across four continents, releasing this message in festivals, universities, churches and civic theaters. Founded in 2007 by Nate and Leah Nelson in Houston, TX, trEd is now based in Tulsa, OK.

THE DIRECTORS

Nate and Leah Nelson met in 1993 while touring with the international theatrical dance production, The Masterpiece: A Toymaker's Dream. They have spent the last 30 years traveling across the nation and around the world utilizing the arts to proclaim the message of the Kingdom.

In working with innovative dance companies such as NC-5, Ad Deum, and Excelsior Dance, their artistic pursuit has led to opportunities to perform across Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia, and even uncommon places such as Communist Cuba and China.

Recently, Nate completed his Masters in Christian Ministry through Oral Roberts University, where Leah is an adjunct teacher for the ORU Dance Department. They reside in Tulsa, OK with their two children Anila and Kai.
