“Community Voices” is a groundbreaking new space for unheard writers, supporting vital perspectives and urgent stories about the Asian-American experience. This season, 2G partnered with GAPIMNY, Q-Wave, and SALGA, three local grass-roots organizations serving the queer API community to launch “Community Voices: Queer API.” Led by Deen, a first-generation South Asian American playwright and performer, this writing workshop supports queer, Asian writers interested in exploring their relationship to “gender.”
This January, six writers were selected to be part of “Community Voices: Queer API” following an open application process promoted city-wide to all members of our Asian-American community who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Queer, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming.
This March, “Community Voices” offered a safe container to explore the theme of gender in a rich learning and collaborative environment, culminating in the writing of new pieces for theatrical expression. The program consisted of five, 3-hour writing workshop sessions co-moderated by 2g theater artists, including slam-poet Kit Yan, playwright/ actress/ director Nandita Shenoy, actress/community-organizer Elena Chang, and playwright/director Kyoung H. Park.
