Hello, world. Have you eaten?

I am a scholar, dramaturg, and artist. My work focuses on food/pleasure/rasa/community - often in the Indo and Indonesian diaspora. I help artists structure their thinking and realize their projects. And I make performances and videos about my family.

Scholarship
My research springs from my passion for my Indo and Indonesian community--our histories, our flavors, our experiences. I am interested in how we collaborate with each other and with other ethnic groups to build resilient communities through shared pleasure.

I’m fascinated with the awkward stand-up comedy set. The feel of a home-made dance costume. The smell of terasi frying with sambal paste. The moment when your auntie asks, ‘have you eaten yet?’ 

I’ve shared my scholarship across several venues, including publications  (Situations, Imagining; a Gibney Journal, Performance Research,  Hyperallergic) as well as academic conferences (ASTR, ATHE, AAA.)
