Praise for Dan Kwong:
"Somehow, Kwong has held onto his sense of childlike wonder about
the cosmos, and that awe informs his free-wheeling and uproarious
performance."
-"Asian Week"
"He weaves striking, multi-focus stage pictures around simple
monologues about his Chinese and Japanese grandfathers, ironic
accounts of his own childhood, and litanies of the trials facing
Asian American males."
-"L.A. Times"
"Saturated with high-spirited enthusiasm . . . a refreshingly
forthright approach to his often dark material."
-"Chicago Tribune"
"Kwong's humor is warm and loving . . . it stems from a
delightfully twisted taste for the absurdity of human behavior. . .
. Be prepared to laugh, to be moved, and to fall in love with a
performer."
-"L.A. Reader"
Dan Kwong's performances delve into the complexities of growing up
as a working-class Chinese-Japanese-American male in L.A., land of
Hollywood and Disney. Kwong's remarkable performances, a potent
array of multimedia effects and athletic physicalization,
investigate questions of identity and the intersecting effects of
race, culture, class, gender, and sexuality. "From Inner Worlds to
Outer Space" brings together Kwong's scripts with illuminating
commentary by critic Robert Vorlicky. The book includes interviews
that reveal Kwong's personal and artistic influences, his evolution
as an artist, and his philosophical and technical approach to
art-making.
