Stage Presence: Conversations with Filipino American Performing Artists
This is a really interesting read for emerging Filipino American performing artist. I highly recommend it because it talks about their experiences & their creative processes that is insightful and at the same time, relates to your own experiences as an artist.
Other reviews:
” Fusing history, culture, jazz, and art, Stage Presence is one big happening jam session featuring ten Filipino American performing artists rapping on their craft, their process, their defiance to be boxed in by the category-obsessed American market, and their hunger and struggles necessary to stay true to their vision, identity, and art. “–R. Zamora Linmark, author of Rolling the R s, Prime Time Apparitions and Leche
“When the New York Times looks at Filipinos, it sees only house maids and cooks, copycats, and mimics. But when scholar and artist Theo Gonzalves looks at and talks with his compatriots, he sees stunningly original and creative thinkers who use an eclectic range of forms and methods to make art and perform culture. This book is dizzy and alive with the Filipino soul. Read at your own risk! “–Karin Aguilar-San Juan, editor of The State of Asian America
