POP! - Producing Our Power


On Monday night, every section of ETHS 210 came together at Brava Theater for POP! and put on a show to showcase what we learned and gained from class about Asian American culture. Each performance/video was entertaining, and I truly enjoyed every single one. With the little amount of time we all had to prepare, I felt that each class was able to put out quality work. POP! was a great way to end the semester and effectively demonstrate our understanding of Asian American culture in a way an exam would not be able to do.
All four teachers and their TAs on stage.

Here are some pictures I took of the performances by Valerie Soe's class:

Ming Ming Potter and Cho Chang


Ming Ming receives a visit from the evil Voldemort.


Ming Ming is now white!


Dumbledore gives Ming Ming a pep talk & persuades him to become Asian again.


Soe U Think U Can Dance (Tinikling)


Four at once!


"Who Am I" skit - Rejected by the Asian group


Rejected also by the American group.


Bonding over their mutual love for Pokémon.


"This Is I" - spoken word performances


And from Isabelle Thuy Pelaud's class, the hula group dances to Adeaze's "How Deep is Your Love":


My camera ran out of battery just before the succeeding skit, so no pictures of the rest of the performances, sorry!
