We had our first run through of the whole show last night. It was pretty scary since we had a bit of an audience and "Roadshow" came to do some interviews with us. I, of course, was a total dork in my interview. It's hard enough to explain how I feel playing the part of Jiang Ching...let alone say it all in my terrible Cantonese. I hope the edits will make me look a little less of a dork... My mother came to watch as well...and mom doesn't ever lie to me about anything....That means, I can alwa...Read more
I'm currently in rehearsals for a new musical (in English!!!) called "I, Ching", written by Cecile Tang and music by Lowell Lo and other composers. The director is Jacob Yu and other cast members include Rick Lau as "CQ", Boon Ho as "Kang" and Samuel Yau as "Yao". It's basically a story about the Cultural Revolution and the main cast consists of the "Gang of Four". If you don't know what I'm talking about, never fear!!! As a Chinese American, (ABC) I too wa...Read more
Last week, I performed with my close friends at the "Alice in Wonderland" showcase. The event took place on Wed, June 6th at Bisous. The student showcases have been sort of a yearly event organized by Aerial Arts Academy. ( AAA, founded by my teacher and friend Ania Przeplasko) And this time around, I decided to choreograph a number and ask my good friends to join me in performing it. I didn't have time to teach a weekly class for the showcase like all of the other instructors because I am in the middle of r...Read more

These past few weeks have been an adjustment for me....I'm trying real hard to stay focused and to prepare myself for what's coming up in my life. I had a few obstacles of allergies, bad coughing, lots of snot and phlegm, and then stomach problems...but, I think I'm beginning to find my groove. I've been trying to relax these past few days before I start rehearsals for my next project. I'm excited to be cast in an original musical called "I, Ching" (in English!!!) We'll be previewing the show in LA...Read more
