“Weave…part one” uses a contemporary dance framework to braid my mother’s life (second Sino-Japanese War); adopted into a Peranakan family as a baby, passed on to her Lau Ye at age 7 for convenience then discarded at age 19 on the death of the patriarch; with some of the situations I lived through in Canada, and choices I made that crystalized who I became. Central to the solo is a questioning of the role/value of a woman in Asia – if all this has really changed with the passing of time.
Entr’acte, featuring singer, Kristin Fung
In Search of the Holy Chop Suey
Where or in what time space does identity reside? Ng asks “How does someone else’s movement quality impact my own dancing self?” as she undertakes a pointed investigation for her solo, In Search of the Holy Chop Suey. In it, she ponders a life of creation and imitation in movement and mines influences from sources as varied as her mother, modern dance and kung fu legends, ordinary people, wild animals and more. Says Ng, “When I imitate, I also uncover something unique in myself. Each time I fail to become more like my mother (or my favourite kung fu hero Bruce Lee), I become more me.”
In explaining the title, Ng says: “In the late seventies/early eighties, there was a TV series called In Search of… that focused on mysterious phenomena, e.g. Loch Ness, Holy Grail, Big Foot, etc. But they would never find the ‘thing’ that was the subject of the particular episode. Chop Suey is a dish that reportedly originated from migrant Chinese workers who lived in the U.S.A. in the 19th century. When I was young, living in Asia, I wanted everything western. I knew about the dish and equated it to something Western/North American. The title is a comment on my belief that each of us has a deep desire to find meaning for our lives – even as that meaning eludes us and/or is not what it seems.” The sound score and the spoken text of this solo includes Chinese dialect Hokkien and Singlish.

In celebration of Asian Heritage Month, Guilt & Co, and Kristina Lao, with the Vancouver Asian Film Festival, have co-curated an evening of Asian-Canadian talent, to elevate and celebrate some of the immense musical talent that our local community has to offer. VAFF is also providing a full day of professional development and workshops for artists looking to develop their musical careers in film, television, gaming and media industries.
The Vancouver Asian Film Festival is Canada's longest running Asian film festival and Western Canada's largest racialized film festival. Through this and many other programs and events hosted in Vancouver, VAFF’s mission is to engage in, support and amplify Asian presence in film and television. Tonight's show includes guests of the Asians In Music (AIM) initiative, part of VAFF's year-long programming to support emerging and established Asian Canadian Music Community.
About the Artist:
Returning to Vancouver after seven years in Toronto, Kristin Fung’s ferocious, tender, and captivating voice as a lead singer, keyboardist, songwriter, and improviser traverse musical landscapes of “soulful grace [and] jazzy joy” (From The Intercom) and funky R&B. Her uplifting originals evoke self-accompanying piano queens Alicia Keys and Patrice Rushen, showing off her powerhouse lungs and groovy piano chops. Fung's bandleader performances include Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Classical Garden (2023), Vancouver International Jazz Festival (2021), Markham Jazz Festival (2019), and Ong King (Honolulu, 2019). She is joined by local heavies ZiZi (vocals), Suin Park (keyboard), Alvin Brendan (guitar), Victor Balconi (bass), and Liam MacDonald (drums).
