Join Gloria Mok as she weaves together a personal story about long-distance relationships and immigration, with an ancient Chinese astrological folktale about forbidden love. Utilizing food, simple objects, and conversational Cantonese, a dinner table for a small group transforms into a liminal space that explores the challenges and triumphs of seeking love and connection at a distance.
How is dramaturgy like a good meal? Gloria will walk you through her approach to creating theatrical performances out of personal stories, that tie in culture, language, ritual, and food. Come hungry to learn.
Play with the cultivation of curiosity, the exploration of emotional range and the practice of being seen! REGISTER NOW!
