Winding Down

fu-GEN's 7th Annual Potluck Festival featuring GENesis: Asian-Canadian Theatre Conference has come to an end.

(beat).

(pregnant pause).

(beat).

Eight full-length new play readings, 9 new play excerpt readings, 6 artist panels, 1 keynote speech, 20 academic paper presentations, and an uncountable amount of food have been presented over the course of the past week. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to summarize the week, but all that comes to mind is that you had to be there. I have never been in a theatre filled with so many Asian Canadians and so many people (from across the country) support of us in our movement.
It's been a week of highs with hardly any lows. I don't mean to be tooting our own horns, so to speak, but there's a feeling among the staff that we have been so high it's hard not to be dizzy on our way down. We are optimistic as we march forward into our new season here at fu-GEN and we hope to see another Asian Canadian theatre conference in the years to come!


This week has been slower and a little bit emotional. One of our wonderful photographers, Jon De Leon, brought in all of the photos he took for the week. We are going through all of them, so you should expect to see a bunch up on the blog sometime next week. Keep an eye out!
