There's a small group of us out there with bios that start with "Originally from China...“. Some readers find it unique; some may find it leads to some undesired stereotypes, but most of the time, we rush to connect and hold hands with each other to celebrate what this identity has brought to our artistic careers.

What does "Originally from China" hold for the lives of generations of theatermakers? How did we find ourselves in the unique set of challenges, conversations, and ultimately liberated as artists under such identity? This is a conversation that we've never had before--and definitely not the last.

"Originally from China": Makings of a New Theatermaker Identity is the opening artist panel kicking off B·O·N·D Festival 2021, inviting global audiences to be in conversation with leading voices of Chinese/Chinese American theater artists; to investigate the paths of many generations of Chinese American theater artists and look into a more equitable future.

Guest artists:
Chongren Fan (Artistic Director of Yangtze Repertory Theatre of America)
Ran Xia (Playwright, Director)
Minghao Tu (Playwright)
Xiaoyue Zhang (Associate Producer, The Orchard Project)
Moderated by Tianding He (Artistic Director of BOND Festival)
