| dc.description.abstract | we the same is a play written by Sangeeta Wylie, based on the true story of the Vietnamese boat people’s journey in the late 1970s. This play was produced as a theatre production by the Drama Department of the School of Creative and Performing Arts, University of Calgary, and made its debut in the University’s Reeve Theatre from April 13 – 14, 2021. Incidentally, this was the period when the world was engulfed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the upheaval against systemic racism. This thesis details the creative decisions and processes that had to be undertaken due to the environmental health and racial sensitivity conditions that affected the production of we the same, and simultaneously, having to balance between artistic creation with my research inquiry. | en_US |
