This capstone stems from a desire to learn and explore my own Asian American identity and its relation to the wider Asian diaspora. My capstone project combines both anthropological work with documentary theatre to understand how personal Asian American identities can be formed and influenced. The main portion of this thesis comes from a documentary theatre play about Asian American identity, created through interviews involving Asian American participants coming from various backgrounds and experiences. This paper starts off with a reflection of a history of anti-Asian discrimination prevalent in the United States, from hostile violence in the late 1800s to the rise in anti-Asian rhetoric from the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. This paper also goes through both an explanation of the interview process and an analysis of how these interviews present underlying social themes in the Asian American community. These themes specifically point to discussions regarding erasure and assimilation, high expectations, and positions of leadership. Attached is the playscript of the documentary play formed through the personal statements and stories provided by the interviews conducted in this project. A staged reading for this play was presented on December 16, 2022, in Celeste Theatre at Colorado College; the cast of that stage reading is presented in the playscript.
