I just found out I received funding for a collaborative performance arts piece that explores transracial adoption, mixed race identity, and blended families (interracial) for the 2012 Queer Arts Festival in San Francisco. I am in the process of seeking more funding. My piece will explore racial and queer identity as a Korean American adoptee and use poetry, music, and movement. In addition to that, I am focusing on helping people free their voices through classes that incorporate meditation, call and response devotional Sanskrit chanting, gospel, spirit songs, improvisational singing, body percussion, and vocal expressive arts. These classes have the goal of helping people sing and also express themselves vocally in the world (speak their truths). I am currently studying movement-based expressive arts at Tamalpa Institute. I'm in a sweet period having moved back this year to the Bay Area after a very difficult and wonderful year in Peru.
