For the past few years, we in the Mu Performing Arts office have been passing around the idea of starting a blog. After all, the ranks of Mu artists, staff, board, and friends are teeming with talent, ideas, and unique perspectives from the Asian American community that deserve to be shared. As an organization whose mission is driven by seeking out and expressing "the heart of the Asian American experience," who is better suited to provide a place for sharing those perspectives than Mu?
Although Mu is a theater and taiko company, MUsings is about more than just Asian Americans in the arts. It is a home for stories, news, reviews, profiles, and commentary that provides insight into what it means to be Asian American and, by extension, what it means to live in an increasingly diverse society. We will feature a variety of regular and guest bloggers from a broad spectrum of backgrounds who will each have his or her own voice to share. It is our hope that as MUsings grows, we will become not only a blog, but a hub where people from all walks of life can connect with one another, engage in discussion, and build a community around a common purpose: to journey into the Asian American experience in all its forms.
Without further ado, welcome to MUsings!
