Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound and the Wing Luke Museum are beginning work on an exciting new project reformatting the videotapes in the Northwest Asian American Theatre Collection. The Northwest Asian American Theatre company was one of the earliest theater companies in the nation to highlight the work of Asian American actors and playwrights. From 1981 until 2004, this company was an important cultural center for the large population of Asian Americans who called Seattle home. This digitization project, funded by a grant from the National Historic Publications & Records Commission (a branch of the National Archives), will allow for the digitization of around 100 videotapes. These tapes include experimental dance, improvisational comedy, musical performances, and, of course, plays such as "And the Soul Shall Dance" (by Wakako Yamauchi), "F.O.B.", "Dance and the Railroad" (both by M. Butterfly playwright David Henry Hwang), and more. (M. Butterfly will be returning to Seattle January 24 - February 17th at ArtsWest!) Seattleite Roger W. Tang, considered by many to be the “Godfather” of Asian American theatre, explained the significance of this project as follows: “​I am tremendously pleased that a valuable piece of our history and heritage has a chance to be preserved to be handed down to generations coming after us. In talking with younger artists across the country, I constantly am told that it’s too bad that a lot of our early work is not available. If there’s a fighting chance that this can get done, there’ll be a lot of excitement not just in Seattle, but across the country, as NWAAT was, for the longest times, one of just five Asian American theaters keeping the flame alive.”

Once completed, the majority of the collection will be available to the public on the Internet Archive. Segments from the collection will be shown at MIPoPS quarterly archival screening night, held at the Northwest Film Forum, on February 10th, from 5-6:30 pm.
