The Asia Project

UNIVERSITY PROGRAMMING COUNCIL

 

ASIA Project 

 

February 1, 2012 

8:00 PM Lane University Center, Atkinson Room 

FREE, Open to the Public 

 

Life is a constant collection of creation and revision. Asia am still a work in progress. As an aspiring novelist/astronaut/oil painter/brain surgeon/ninja, Asia never thought spoken word poetry would be his calling. But as with everything else we encounter in life while dealing with the illusive astrological joke we've come to know as destiny, here Asia stands: a cancer survivor who has won audiences throughout the country with a spoken word show that has been nothing less than an honest and genuine testimony of his life - a spoken word show that is always inspiring, sometimes gut-wrenching, and most often times comical buffoonery. He has been featured on HBO Def Poetry and BET J Lyric Caf, has won the APCA Performer of Year award, and uses his poetry as an activist tool to help fight poverty in the Philippines. Taking his poetry to the next level, he is now touring with his brother-in-law, Jollan who adds dramatic guitar to make the poems come alive on stage. So maybe Asia never became the ninja he had always hoped to be as a child, but come to his show and he'll guarantee you will have never seen him coming.
