Theater

As a person whose queerness may not be immediately clocked, the misaligned perception of myself on a big audience scale was hard for me to make peace with. I felt like I was diluting my Filipinx-American and queer identities when I was in predominantly white schools, and even now in predominantly white workplaces. However, theater in the Bay Area helped me realize that that perception does not need to be my sole responsibility. I have access to spaces where I trust that I can bring my whole self and that people will perceive me how I want to be perceived. Agency is a beautiful thing!

I am most excited about bringing stories by, for, and about marginalized people to life. And I will always support my community in making art fuckery and joy.
