Sitting at the window, I repeat to myself: the project is to grapple with my inability to comprehend or speak about my world. From my castle, my ivory tower, my highest, whitest horse, I can read all about it — 87 are dead in Aleppo, 26 in Connecticut— all safely within view, and unreachable. Next to me, a book about a genocide my very own family survived. Somewhere on the horizon, my very own death, at a considered and clinical distance. Far.

We are winding our way towards opening night this week. What started out as a conversation with my mother about our gumbo tradition many years ago, has become this little monster of a dance theater piece that has forever changed my life and how I think about food. With this incarnation of Our Daily Bread my collaborator and director, Ellen Sebastian Chang and I engaged in daily conversations about food; about the difficulties of having a slow enough life to

There's an interesting feeling you get when you embark on something that's bigger than yourself. Maybe you're a bit nervous. You spend your time prepping by biting your nails and over thinking. You get a bit anxious. You repeatedly scratch at the same spot on your forearm, thinking, “my forearm doesn’t even itch.” You laugh anxiously at anything anyone says even if it's not supposed to be remotely comical. You smile nervously and you blink too much. Even your heart
For next week's performances of "Sunk in Sleep," cast members were asked to write freely (for at least 15-30 minutes) using subject matter and phrase material as impetus. The following are two examples of what bubbled up. Roche Janken: “oceans. you—adrift for days on these oceans, waiting for help, waiting for the sight of a mast or a flag or a tree or a sail or even a cheap petticoat strung up on a pole—some sort of scarecrow offering to
Reading Gemma's post about a European's impression of the US, I immediately thought of Jean Baudrillard’s book “America." Here are some gems from my well-underlined, college copy: “This (The United States) is the only country which gives you the opportunity to be so brutally naïve: things, faces, skies, and deserts are expected to be simply what they are. This is the land of the ‘just as it is’.” “America is neither dream nor reality. It is a hyperreality. It is
When James was 9 he wrote a song about his 57 Chevy, cruisin’ down the freeway. I’m not sure exactly how this is relevant to our upcoming workshop residency at CounterPULSE, but somehow it gets right to the heart of it.

What comes out is a first person description of an experience that is alien to the culture that he lives in,
Here are some thoughts about this Saturday's performance from Asian American Women Artists Association (AAWAA) about the performance this weekend: "Saturday 5/19 'Tales of Pangu' will sparkle!! If you are at all interested in interdisciplinary performance, multi-media, collaboration and dramatized Asian American history dating back to the early days of 1850, this is the performance for you!!!
