\u2014 ABOUT THE PROJECT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In my residency last year I participated in a writing project with Erin Shields which resulted in a first draft of a two hander play called \u201c\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f4f\u0f7c\u0f42\u0f0b Jhutok.\u201d This is an expression that roughly translates to\u201cmind your business\u201d in Tibetan. We often hear this when we stick our noses into other people’s business or are acting nosey. It\u2019s unfortunately the expression we hear a lot when we inquire about issues that arise in our community; it’s something I’ve heard when asking about abuse in the community. Inspired by the women in my community who’ve endured so many hardships in exile, in womanhood and in the community, I wrote this play to become a catalyst for us to have a space where we can share in a story that is removed from us enough to reflect on ourselves and the ways we\u2019re internalized patriarchy and gender based violence in our community. Set in a rural refugee settlement, the story is about two Tibetan women who are waiting for their coworker to show up for work but she never does<\/p>\n\n\n\n
