Long ago in Kabikuan, there lived a powerful sorceress Skilled in the art of magic, she was feared throughout the lands, A cruel witch, hiding her daughter away, casting curses, and spreading plagues But what historians neglect to share was that she was revered by the people of Java and Bali, and by the King of Kediri himself That she was a mother, a teacher, a protector And that she was so much more . . . This piece is inspired by the book Janda Dari Jirah (The Widow of Jirah), as told by Cok Sawitri. Oftentimes, legends and stories in Indonesia are told from the perspectives of men, where the heroes are men, despite their shortcomings. This piece is a portrayal of a story from the perspective of a woman, Rangda Ing Jirah, as told by a woman, Cok Sawitri. Rangda Ing Jirah is a powerful sorceress and was a deeply respected spiritual leader. However, she is one of the most misunderstood characters in Indonesian historical legends and is often seen as a villain. Hopefully, this piece brings to light the legacy of Rangda Ing Jirah, a legendary female leader.

"What are we?" is a spoken word and dance piece that explores the question: what are we? We break down what this question means to us as Asian Americans when people ask us what we are, and make assumptions based on what we look like. We oppose the stereotypes and tropes of Asians as we are seen in the media. And we push against external, internal, and familial expectations for us to be the "model minority"– to fit a mold.

It's an exciting time to be a Playstation fan, or a Sony pony, as Jamie always says! Fresh off of the forthcoming God of War: Ragnarok trailer that debuted at Sony's Playstation Showcase 2021, we kick things off with some excited speculation about the new characters that were introduced: Tyr, Thor, and Angrboda! Then, Jamie takes us on a ride through the sun-drenched, small-town roads of Providence Oaks in Gamious' new mailperson simulator/slice of life drama, Lake. But the fun doesn't stop there! This week we're joined by dancer, musician, vocalist, and voice-over artist for Kena: Bridge of Spirits' titular heroine: Dewa Ayu Dewi Larassanti! We chat all about her unexpected but absolutely joyful experience bringing Kena to life after the game's developer, Ember Lab, reached out to her family's organization Gamelan Çudamani for help in bringing Balinese music into its score and atmosphere-- and ended up contributing to the fabric of the game in more ways than one!
