Multimedia performance artist and playwright Dan Kwong is paying tribute to his mother in a unique way.
Dan is an award-winning multimedia performance artist, playwright and teacher. And this evening, he premieres his new show, What? No Ping-Pong Balls? at Highways Performance Space, in Santa Monica.
Dan’s new work is based on his recollections of his mother, artist Momo Nagano Kwong, and her life as a single parent, and ultimately a Venice ceramicist, painter and weaver who experimented with various new materials in her work. The performance also incorporates the original rhythms of master taiko drummer Kenny Endo.
Dan shared some of his favorite memories of his mom, and offered a preview of What? No Ping-Pong Balls?, which opens this evening at 8:30 in Santa Monica.
