From the New Victory Theatre on Broadway in New York City, to the Graz Erzahlt in Austria, to Sapporo, Japan, Brenda Wong Aoki has established a new genre as a contemporary storyteller. A writer, performer, and recording artist, she has received numerous grants, fellowships and commissions for her original work. Of Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Scots descent, her stories blend myth, streetlore, and real life. These dramatic presentations synthesize Kyogen & Noh (Japanese traditional theater), modern dance, and live jazz. Her debut album with composer/musician Mark Izu, Dreams and Illusions: Tales of the Pacific Rim, won the NAIRD best spoken word album of 1990 (INDIE Award) and was released on Rounder Records. The Queen's Garden CD won a 1999 INDIE Award and was released on the Asian Improv Label. Aoki Was Named One Of The 500 Most Influential Asian Americans By Avenue Magazine
