Passing: What Are You?

Tonight I went to a WOW Cafe show. I saw Passing, "an investigative dance-theatre work that examines how people of mixed race or ethnicity form their identities." The dances and the monologues were very thought-provoking: What is race—is it genetics? Is it an innate identity? Is it a social construct? How does one "define" race—by skin color? By percentage of "colored" blood? By one's ethnic association?
The WOW Cafe has other shows throughout the month of May too. My friend Sandra is producing a bunch of the shows. If you're in NYC, go check them out!
And good news! I have an interview on Monday. It's going to be a phone interview for a copy editor job in NJ. I'm excited about it ^_^
