Instant Vaudeville: Breaking Bamboo
2g's 16th season launches with Instant Vaudeville: Breaking Bamboo which brings more than 35 overachieving, slightly shy, yet sensual Asian American artists together on one stage.
Saturday, Nov. 17 - Panel at 2 pm; Show at 2:30 pm - Join Deen (Community Voices Facilitator, Playwright), Lucy Thurber (Playwright), and Ryan Shen (Community Organizer) for "Queer Voices Speak Out," a pre-show panel discussion moderated by Kyoung H. Park (2g Director of Strategic Planning). The panelists will share their stories about finding a home in the theater and provide more information about how you can become part of this exciting new program.
Running Time: 75 minutes
Instant Vaudeville: Breaking Bamboo is a series of 8 original works by new and emerging Asian American artists, culminating in four free public performances. A staple of 2g's annual programming, it challenges teams to create live theatre in a fast, furious and collaborative manner over the course of one week. Playwright/director and/or devising ensembles will create 6-8 minute pieces of theater across a variety of genres such as puppetry plays, musicals, improvisation, choreography (dance and/or fight), clowning, physical theater, dramas and comedies.
