Sugar Vendil's Test Sites is an ongoing series of performance pieces that are experiments in process. Each Test Site involves a short-term process and is an exercise in limits and creativity. Blending voice and movement, her new TestSite 7 will be a release of rage and a ritual for joy. Vendil will also perform Test Site 5: Seedlings for voice, movement, and electronics, and other solo music compositions. An AAPI New Yorker, Vendil says she is making the work as "an inelegant, angry, and urgent response to the current moment." Vendil will be joined by Jasmine Chong, Yoshiko Chuma, Sophia Gutchinov, Bliss Lau, Laura Snell, Alicia Tan, and Jing Yu.
Sophia will be one of the guest speakers for this free online event about the AAPI community regarding artists having a dialogue on resilience with the pandemic, resistance to racism, the model minority myth, hidden American history, & dance. This is brought to you by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club
