Title: The “Trickle Down” of Stereotypes in the Media
Brief Summary of Workshop:
Actor, Parry Shen will directly correlate how current stereotypical images and representations of Asian-Americans in the media affect society-in short, revealing how much the aforementioned images “trickle down” and affect Asian-Americans NOT in the entertainment industry.
Participants in the workshop will get to experience and “audition” for the types of roles that he and his fellow Asian American colleagues have auditioned before and after the ground-breaking “Better Luck Tomorrow”. It’s the ultimate compare and contrast lesson. No acting experience necessary but something everyone should see and experience.
