Dawn
Mabalon is in the Heart
This
past weekend, we lost a
beloved member of our
community, Professor Dawn
Bohulano Mabalon. Her work
in academia and grassroots
organizing inspired and
impacted countless people.
We
here at Bindlestiff also
remember her as one of the
OG Stiffies. Her lone
stand-up comedy
performance at Bindlestiff
with Gayle Romasanta is
the stuff of legend. And
over
the years, we were blessed to
have Dawn fill these walls
with her infectious laughter,
fierce intellect, brutal
honesty, delicious (and
rigorously researched) food,
unabashed feminism, biting
wit, and undying love for
Jesse, her family, her
community, her life's
work, her Giants and Warriors,
and her hometown - Stockton,
CA.
And
in her, we saw the scholar,
the author, the artist, the
activist, the humanitarian,
the warrior, the chef, the
shero we all aspire to be.
Dear
Dawn, if all theaters have
ghosts, we welcome your spirit
here, now and forever.
Rest
in Power!

Stories
High is an incubator
program open to the
public, aimed to
nurture, cultivate and
showcase emerging and
returning artists.
Beginning in the late
90s, Stories High is
Bindlestiff Studio’s
longest-running, yearly
education program and
new works performance.
Through the summer,
students participant in
one or more workshops,
choosing from acting,
directing, and writing.
These workshops
culminate in a
production which many
aspiring artists have
used as an entry point
to performing
arts.
“Stories
High workshops and
production are a
lifeline to Bindlestiff
Studio, as each cycle
introduces us to new
talent, new voices, new
perspectives. The future
vanguard of Bindlestiff
always passes through
our Stories High
productions.” - Aureen
Almario, Artistic
Director of Bindlestiff
