Elizabeth (Lisa) Liang

I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season and/or end of year despite the news. My last task for Home[sic] was to write a long recap of the experience, just to process it, so I could dive into the holidays at last. Am sharing it for anyone who is curious about the process of writing, producing, and performing an autobiographical solo show these days. Hope you enjoy the read. LINK IN BIO. Happy Holidays! 🎁🕎🎄🖤💚❤️🎆🥳🍾🥂🌈 🌅 @homesicshow #theatre #LAThtr #soloshow #producing #actorslife #tck #thirdculturekid #globalnomads #familia #belonging #home #bilingual #performing #performingarts #intled

I'm back at @deyanaudio this week to record the 3rd audiobook in Solvej Balle’s ON THE CALCULATION OF VOLUME series. It's an honor to be asked back for this series that won the Nordic Council Literature Prize (Scandinavia’s most important literary award), once again incorporating French, German, and Norwegian into the English narrative! Great storytelling by Balle and translation by Sophia Hersi Smith and Jennifer Russell. I'm very grateful to be hired again and hope you enjoy listening when the audiobook is published by @ndpublishing ! 📖🎤🎧🩷 #audiobook #audiobooknarrator #boothlife #narrator #narratorsofinstagram #solvejballe #onthecalculationofvolumeiii #sophiahersismith #jenniferrusselltranslation

I remember the physical reaction I had in college when reading all the WOC in This Bridge Called My Back--how SEEN I felt even though our stories were so different, and how robbed I felt that these writers hadn't been included in my high school education. Then upon reading (also in college) just a few of the vastly diverse voices in Charlie Chan Is Dead, I was again disappointed that I hadn't known of these writers in h.s. Have I mentioned I went to h.s. in Cairo, Egypt? It was an American int’l school, so the curriculum was a typical US one. We mostly learned the POV of the American white male of Christian UK/European (mostly WASP) stock for 4 years. I did not get a more inclusive education just b/c I was at an int’l school, other than Arabic classes. (But an int'l school in Egypt withOUT Arabic classes would NOT have been a school my parents put us in.) Beyond language classes, the national culture of an int'l school DOMINATES the school, over & above the host culture & other cultures. If the national culture is hugely biased toward a specific demographic (i.e. WASP American cis het males), then that's what's taught. (You can read how this affects social behavior at these schools in @danautanu 's brilliant book, Growing Up in Transit.) So it meant the WORLD to learn of great American Latina & API American writers, because I felt like my American literary & educational worlds opened at last. Also, I felt *included* in the conversation, which was a new concept. If you're in L.A. and would like to hear me mention how the USA dominated my education even in Egypt, and how home & belonging are complex issues for me EVEN around my birthplace of Guatemala, I hope you'll come see my show Home[sic] next weekend, Dec 5-7, directed by the wonderful @thegiovanniortega at @jaxxtheatricals .
