Her one woman show is premiering, in London, England this October and we’re pleased to have returning guest Jasmine Thien back to discuss it, along with recent insights on adjusting with a second prosthetic eye after having the first one removed in response to childhood cancer.
This week on Outlook, Jasmine is here to share about her upbringing and family history and her lifelong journey with retinal blastoma and the cultural ideas on disability which led her to creating “I Dream In Colour,” a show on Thien’s grandparents who left China years ago, her parent’s ways of handling a threat of vision loss in their child, along with how Jasmine has grown up and come to acceptance and pride in herself.
She describes navigating her new main residence of London, England in preparation for the performance happening on October 15th, the things she tries to instil in the young people she runs educational workshops with, and we even talk disability and sexuality and some of the misconceptions people have about the lack of the latter when it comes to people with the former.
Actor, performer, and educator Jasmine Thien is back with us with her big news and if you happen to be in the UK on 15 October, you should definitely go to this show. You can grab tickets here:
