UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance

CAP UCLA presented the World Premiere of WAKE, by Filipino American dancer and choreographer JAY CARLON on October 11, 2024. This ritual toward liberation combined performance and queer nightlife for a one-night-only immersive club experience at Don Quixote in Los Angeles. Created in collaboration with a coalition of experimental AAPI creatives, including sound artist MICAELA TOBIN (WHITE BOY SCREAM), Los Angeles nightlife collectives QNA and SEND NOODZ, and rebel Filipiniana fashion house VINTA GALLERY, WAKE excavates identity, ancestry, and the complexities of the diaspora.
