“The Opposite of Cancel Culture”
What do we do with work that has artistic merit but contains racially problematic material? Don’t cancel it! But…how do we continue to perform it? Join “Final Bow for Yellowface” co-founder Phil Chan as he shares his creative practice of reimagining important European works like “Madama Butterfly” and “La Bayadere” for a multiracial audience, and expand your own toolbox and vocabulary when presenting depictions of non-European cultures on stage.

Phil Chan is a co-founder of Final Bow for Yellowface, and author of Final Bow for Yellowface: Dancing between Intention and Impact, and the President of the Gold Standard Arts Foundation. He is a graduate of Carleton College and an alumnus of the Ailey School.
