Jamika and Katy sit down with the incredible Chevi Chung – actor, director, and Community Programs Specialist at the Office of Arts & Cultural Vitality for the City of Tacoma – to learn what we can look forward to during Tacoma Arts Month.
From the website:
“Tacoma Arts Month is dedicated to showcasing the very best about our community. October is brimming with hundreds of arts and culture events, exhibits, and workshops for all ages.
“‘There is something for everyone to enjoy: music, dance and theater performances; hands-on experiences; visual art exhibits; literary readings; lectures; workshops; film screenings and cultural events. Find out more at tacomaartsmonth.org. #TacomaArtsMonth
Jamika and Katy are both very excited about the opening party, and Katy is looking forward to live performances, even though she consistently confuses “conductor” with “composer.”
Beyond Tacoma Arts Month, we learn more about Chevi’s journey as an artist, and her work as an actor, director, fight choreographer, intimacy director, and advocate.
