During May\u2019s Asian Heritage Month, <\/strong>mandated social distancing and regulations due to Covid-19 continue, with artists and companies of all disciplines dealing with cancellations, closures, and shut downs. Artists have been forced to adapt and find innovative ways of supporting each other and continuing their creative work during a time of social and personal quandaries. The theme of Asian Heritage Month 2020 is Asian Canadians: United in Diversity<\/strong> and ELAN reached out to artists in Quebec to discuss impact on work, collaboration, creativity and well-being.<\/p>\n

Currently working from home in strict self-isolation because of chronic asthma. \u201cAlthough I\u2019m lucky to have work, I find myself distracted. How will the industry change? I\u2019ve waded against the currents of performing life because of my Asian heritage. My challenge is to stay focused in the moment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So all is not lost.\u201d <\/em>One challenge as an artist of Asian descent has been “the scapegoating and hatred towards my skin colour has worn down what little is left of my position in Canadian society.

Fred, an actor, stuntman, and 32nd generation Shaolin disciple, halted his web series pilot in mid-March. In isolation he\u2019s writing a feature and doing pre-production. \u201cMy creative process is usually bouncing ideas off my stunt team and seeing what jokes or concepts work visually before I write a script. With social distancing, I don’t have that energy to work with.\u201d<\/em> Once the distancing barrier is lifted, Fred will be \u201crunning towards my stunt team and drop-kicking each and everyone of them! Safely of course.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Artistic director Rahul<\/a><\/strong><\/span> co-founded Teesri Duniya Theatre<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a multicultural company. Counter Offence<\/em><\/strong>, written and directed by Rahul, ran for only two days before it was shutdown. Rahul\u2019s been working from home on Leave out Racism<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cThe performances need to be in person because we want face-to-face interaction\u2026 the dynamics are different\u201d<\/em>. Teesri Duniya Theatre is adapting to the digital milieu. Their Fireworks Playwrights\u2019 Program will feature five writers of colour on Zoom on May 21st.<\/p>\n

These are only a handful of the many talented Asian Artists in Quebec whose work ELAN is highlighting.\u00a0 At this surreal juncture, so much of life and art has been suspended in a holding pattern, with uncertainty causing disequilibrium and unease. Artists are responding to difficulties in developing their own artistic practice, as well as to external pressures in their communities. Asian artists are using their voices and their art to empower and assert values that are vital on societal and personal levels. Despite all of the challenges, they continue to adapt, innovate, reflect, exchange, influence, collaborate and create. This is most definitely something to celebrate. Happy Asian Heritage Month!<\/strong><\/p>\n
