Warwick 2: Intercultural Identity

Meet Yan Huang from China.

She likes to dress up...

....and go wild with style!

This is her Masai shawl and Brazilian hat...great for those frosty days out in the cold Shanghai metropolis.

...a trend setter, no doubt.

She fuses cultural styles...

...adopting different cultural attitudes.

*^/HiP hoP!*

Hip Hop is a GLOBAL culture!

We ask:

"Who am I?"

...And we ask...who the f*&^% are you?...(pardon...its about an attitude ;p)

We are the Lost Citizens?

We are global citizens?

The confused citizens?...

...The Intercultural Citizens.

W2: Keyword "Intercultural Theatre"

We discussed this term in the light of cultural borrowing, for example Peter Brook’s ‘borrowing’ of the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, which was done with an essentially ethnographic perspective on the narrative, thus, the play lost its ‘essence’ as the epic was diluted of its historical context.

The idea of intercultural theatre aims to source ‘material’ (this being used in a broad sense) from different locations to create work that is representative of these multi source cultures. This underscores a sense of collective identity in a syncretic expression where multiple histories are portrayed.
