Writing Across Borders 她们在纽约跨界写作

Writing Across Borders 她们在纽约跨界写作

流动或许是当代生活的关键词。便捷的交通不仅让我们得以自由地在地理空间中走动，还带给我们心灵上的解放。家乡、身份、语言、媒介，一切都不再理所当然，都等待我们去选择和定义。

在长达数十年旅居海外的生活中，纽约大学电影学院教授张真从中文诗歌创作转向电影研究，让自我与广阔的世界产生了勾连，她曾说，在异乡漂泊是一场掘墓，而墓挖好后就要考虑如何死而复生。而在谷歌担任资深程序员的慕明，在科幻中找到了自我表达的方式，并用中国古典文学的传统，发明了属于自己的科幻叙事。哥伦比亚大学戏剧编剧硕士毕业的朱宜，不仅用戏剧诚实地解剖自己观察到的异乡经验，还在进行小说和影视的多栖尝试，她喜欢流动中的人，“因为在流动当中就像在水中游泳，如果不扑腾，就会沉下去。”

电影、剧场、写作，这三种媒介之间有怎样的勾连与张力？异乡的经历如何改变了创作者和语言的关系，对自我身份的认知？疫情会将电影、科幻、剧场的未来推向何方？

2021年11月19日下午5点-9点，张真、慕明、朱宜，和重音社创始人钟娜、李骄阳将在纽约华裔画廊进行一场圆桌对谈，分享她们作为海外华人女性对跨界创作的体验和思考。

Writing across Borders — Chinese Female Writers on the Intersection of Language, Cinema, and Theatre

"Settling down on a foreign land is like digging one's own grave. But once it's done, it's time for rebirth," said Zhang Zhen once in an interview. Leaving China decades ago as a poet, Zhang Zhen reinvented herself through film studies, anchoring herself to a wider world and eventually becoming a Professor at the New York University Tisch School. A Senior Programmer at Google, Mu Ming uses science fiction as a way for self-expression, invigorating the genre with Classical Chinese literary tradition. Zhu Yi, who holds an MFA in playwriting from the Columbia University, explores the rather strange life of a wanderer in plays as well as short stories and screenplays.

What do film, theatre, and writing share in common and how do they differ? How does the diasporic experience shape one's relationship with language and her identity? What does the future look like for film, science fiction, and theatre in the post-pandemic world?

Join Zhang Zhen, Mu Ming, Zhu Yi, and founders of Accent Accent, Zhong Na and Li Jiaoyang, at the roundtable talk, Writing across Borders, on November 19 from 5 - 7:30 pm at the Chinese American Arts Council.
