Urban Myths Series
Being Something: Life in a U.S. City
Urban myth, Being Something,
premiered to great acclaim in 2005 at the Oakland Metro Theatre.
Created in collaboration with acclaimed director Ellen Sebastian Chang
and Stagebridge Senior Theatre, Being Something,
presents a view of urban life that is poignant and funny, gritty and
otherworldly. Using dance, music and drama to explore an interconnected
group of lives in Oakland, this work raises questions and offers new
perspectives on life in American cities.
