TEDxASUWest
• April 2019
“As long as we have been around, humans have been compelled to create and experience live performance.” In this captivating talk, Marianne Kim takes us on a journey through time as she discusses the significance of live performance, sharing an excerpt of her own transdisciplinary work, “The Mis(Diagnosis) of Madam Toy,” what Dr. Kim describes as a piece that “reflects on the racist pseudoscience of the nineteenth century and the treatment of Chinese women immigrating to the United States during the same time,” performed by Michael Arbizo, Olivia Hsu, My-Linh Le and Erin Kong.
