Grace Yi-Li Tong Projects
Movement Collage of the "Regular" and "Ridiculous", by and for the Asian-American femme
About
ABOUT MY WORK, a note from Grace
With a child-like glee, I am a third-generation, Chinese-American performance artist creating movement collage. In the act of self-producing my own choreography, I create careful worlds by and for myself-- cutting-and-pasting the "regular" to designing playful liberation for the Asian-American femme. Using elements of clowning and make-believe, I create exclamatory worlds that re-define our truths. Thank you for your interest, contribution, and support. I hope to see you in the audience soon!
With love,
Grace
