Erika Chong Shuch (Part 2)

Erika Chong Shuch is a performance maker, choreographer and director whose topic-driven ruminations coalesce into imagistic assemblages of music, movement, text, and design. Interested in expanding ideas around how performance is created and shared, Erika’s work has been performed in city halls, theaters, industrial offices spaces, diners, parking lots and food courts. This is the second part of our conversation with Erika, so be sure to listen to Part 1 if you missed it.

Note: The references to “the darkest morning in the world” and “the dark dark day” in this episode refer to the first of several days the entire Bay Area was inundated with smoke from multiple California wildfires. On the day we recorded this episode, the sun never came out. The entire day was a monotonous, soupy, orange-grey apocalyptic twilight that made it impossible to tell the time and had everyone feeling a bit odd.
