A Sample of Immigrant Life (Online Live Performance)

The Square Theatre

An original live-stream performance on immigrant experiences

<h3>First-generation immigrants with different cultural backgrounds have diverse perspectives of life in the U.S., but their voices are not often heard because many of them are English-language learners, working people with busy schedules, and outsiders who constantly try to navigate cultural differences. In fact, none of them are stereotypical immigrants. Their stories, ideas, questions, and conflicts make them unique human beings who have shared challenges and passions. </h3><h3>After eight months of research and community engagement, our findings are presented in A Sample of Immigrant Life. The performance by no means tries to represent the immigrant community or summarize immigrant experiences. Instead, it amplifies individual experiences of re-rooting in New York City in a way based on extensive research because we agree that &quot;personal is political&quot;. Through an original approach to online performance making, we are bringing you into a conversation, and a journey of reflection with us.</h3><p>----------------------------------------------</p><p>Created by immigrant artists and members from the settlement house community, A Sample of Immigrant Life is the culminating performance of The Square Theatre’s project The Art of Losing.</p><p>Devised and performed by Gloria Chao, Jiawen Hu, Jing Dong, Jose Valdez, Josephine Cho, Yusi Gao.</p><p>Special thanks to Baba Israel, Emma K.
