A devised theatre project exploring Asian Identity in Hawaiʻi and America.

“What does it mean to be Asian in 2022?” Faced with the rise of Anti-Asian hate crimes and the continuing need for representation and voice, I lead students on a deep dive into Asian American history in Hawaiʻi and the continent to create a multi-media theatrical performance. The show featured poems by “da Pidgin Guerrilla,” Lee Tonouchi as well monologues, scenes, pop-culture references, video, movement, and reflections inspired by personal stories of the All Asian, all female-identifying ensemble.
