Running through May and June in San Francisco, the [1] 10th Annual United States of Asian America Festival showcases over 75 Asian Pacific Islander artists in the the fields of dance, music, visual art, theater and multidisciplinary performance. The festival’s diverse program includes a [2] May 26 show by the Spotlight Stealerz, an LA-based performing troupe comprised of writers [3] Adelina Anthony ([4] “Mastering Sex and Tortillas”), [5] D’Lo ([6] “Ballin’ With My Bois”) and [7] Alison De La Cruz ([8] “Sungka”). The Stealerz use comedy to “weave individual stories and group sketches together to explore a range of issues within their multiple experiences, identities and communities (Xicana, Tamil Sri-Lankan, Filipino, lesbian, queer, stud, immigrant, mixed-race).”
You can see more of Spotlight Stealer D’Lo, a Tamil Sri Lankan-American performer, writer and music producer with a background in [9] piano, ethnomusicology, hip-hop, dance and more, at [10] upcoming shows across the country, including “Ramble-ations: A One D’Lo Show”—an attempt at fusing together elements of her being on stage: “Gay Hindu Hip Hop—These three things make me but don’t allow for one another.”
