Glammas Wrap (老來嬌说唱) is an artistic bi-lingual collaboration between Clara Hsu (poet), Colleen Quen (Couture), Greg Landau (Grammy nominated music producer) and Wangyuxuan Xu (cinematographer). Performed by the Grant Avenue Follies, a cabaret troupe comprised of women ages 66 to 87, the "Wrap" celebrates the richness of their Chinese American experience through music, language, fashion and dance. Glammas Wrap is produced by Clarion Performing Arts Center in San Francisco Chinatown.
Directors - Wangyuxuan Xu, Colleen Quen, Clara M Hsu
Originally from Suzhou, China, Wangyuxuan Xu was raised in an untraditional Chinese household where her parents’ gender roles are reversed. Her father was constantly criticized by being a house dad. Watching the struggles her father encountered, Xu understands how diversity and inclusion are important but also how difficult it is to implement. Now, as a female journalist of color in the media industry, Xu hopes to speak out for herself and other minority groups. She aims to create narratives that touch on diversity within a local community, gender equality, and show that despite our differences, we are not much different from each other.
