Lisa Chu

Currently based in SF Bay Area, born and raised in suburb of Chicago. Waking up to my own history and reclaiming myself as an artist, after living out other people's expectations for too many years. Created and performed my first solo autobiographical show in October 2018. Five more performances in 2019. Facilitating groups using drama therapy and theater training techniques to find stories of historical and intergenerational trauma among Chinese-Taiwanese-Americans. Looking to network and share my vision for future community-based theater projects to amplify stories of hidden histories among adult children of immigrants in mid-20th century America.
