haruna lee is an award-winning non binary Taiwanese-Japanese-American theater maker, screenwriter, educator, and community steward whose work is rooted in liberation and healing. Their plays are often an urge to honor their mother’s broken English, to translate experiences despite the gulf of cultures, to know their own psychic blood and guts, and to give up on words entirely and commune through epic imagery and ritual. Through their pedagogy, they promote emergent strategies for the theater through generative and process-based collaborations, while inviting the fullness of marginalized bodies and the complexity of that lived experience
to their practice.
