In Concert with Wendy Woo Trio
WHY: Multicultural in both heritage and outlook, Woo displays a blend of soul, vibrancy, and wild child attitude. A passionate live performer who connects instantly with her audiences, she has been playing to sold out venues every week and attracting national music industry attention.
Whether playing by herself or with her band, she draws you in and holds you there. Her voice is simultaneously intimate and assured. Her songs are wide-ranging in style but always pure in emotion: from down and dirty blues to defiant ex-lover funks to summer day sambas to wistful ballads. Her guitar-playing includes fretwork riffs so unusual they always generate cheers.

From Fu Manchu to Kim Jong-il: Asians in American Media
WHY: Over the past century — from the early years of silent melodramas to the contemporary era of Hollywood blockbusters and independent cinema — the American film industry has continued to perpetuate such Asian stereotypes as Fu Manchu, Madame Butterfly, and the “dragon lady.” Moreover, during the first half of the twentieth century, major Asian roles were frequently played by White actors in make-up (a practice known as “yellowface”), who imitated accents in often exaggerated ways (what might be termed “yellowvoice”).
In this workshop, we will discuss the contradictory status of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and South Asian images in contemporary American media, wherein the popularity of new Asian American stars (Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh, John Cho, Kal Penn, etc.) is counterbalanced by a resurgence in retrograde representations, as seen in such post-9/11 cultural productions as Die Another Day and Team America.
Presented by Dr. Eric Aoki (Department of Speech Communication) and Dr. David Scott Diffrient (Department of Speech Communication)
WHEN: Wednesday, April 30th, from 12:00pm-2:00pm
