Ruwaxi intro with Shy's hands
Shy and I started working on transforming Ruwaxi's origin story
into a live performance for our show at Highways in August. We're
thinking that Shy will play Urvashi, Ruwaxi's former incarnation, who
narrates the story. The footage doesn't show Shy, but in the
performance she would be seen onstage facing a live feed camera.

SCRIPT:
Once upon a time in the urban sprawl of the City of Angels (La Ciudad de Los Angeles) there was a gated community (reeee) named the Middle Kingdom (That’s an ancient name for Chi-na!) where there lived a girl, Wu Ruwaxi (a made-up name meaning Western Confucian Doll!). The only child of a hard-working immigrant family, Ruwaxi was loving, dutiful, and the embodiment of the Asian-American dream.
By day she studied assiduously in her elite prep school, mastering calculus derivatives (gi gi go go go, eeeeeeee) formulating political theories to explain current Sino-US relations (ahem! mmm (throaty, protesting) growl, bam! zap! pow!), and writing impeccable eight legged essays analyzing the English literary canon. (The eight-legged essay, baguwen, was a writing style used for the imperial examinations in ancient China. Its rigid structure used heavy parallelism and redundancy, rhetorical features that survive in modern Chinese expository writing.)
FEEDBACK QUESTIONS:
(1) What moments draw you in? Where do you lose interest?
(2) How might you imagine the piece evolve visually and physically from here? (Next in the story, Ruwaxi dresses up in her combat-butch outfit and goes to the club.)
(3) How might you see this integrate with other material developed (chakradar, trailer, etc)?
(4) Thoughts about sound/music?
