The Studio SOH: Yellowfeather
By Jo Higgins
State of the Arts, 28 September 2005
"When people ask I'm going to say I'm English - I'm as much English as I am Indian. People are only interested in what's different." Georgina Naidu's autobiographical celebration of her modern Australian/Indian upbringing, her early penchant for dress-ups and fantasy and her passion for fantastic '80s music, leg warmers and performing is joyous and hilarious.

 William Yang was born in North Queensland, his grandparents migrating from China to the Top End in the 1880s. After completing a Bachelor of Architecture at Queensland University he moved to Sydney in 1969 and worked as a freelance photographer documenting Sydney's social life which included the glamorous celebrity set and the hedonistic, sub-cultural, gay community. His first solo exhibition "Syndeyphiles" in 1977 at the Australian Centre for Photography caused a sensation because of its frank depiction of the Sydney gay and party scene.
In the mid eighties William began to explore his Chinese heritage which had hitherto been lost to him by his complete assimilation into the Australian way of life. His photographic themes expanded to include landscapes and the Chinese in Australia. During this period he made visits to China.
In 1989 he integrated his skills as a writer and a visual artist. He began to perform monologues with slide projection in the theatre. These slide shows were a form of performance theatre and have become his favourite form of showing his work. The third one, "Sadness", wove together two themes: William's discovery of his Chinese heritage and the rituals of dying and death in Sydney. The piece has been extremely successful and like his more recent work has toured all over Australia and the world. He has done nine full length works in all, including "China", "Objects for Meditation" and "Shadows".

Camp Comedy Festival Singapore, 18-21 May 2006
Take a bit of musical theatre and some classic numbers; throw in a
cup of pop and karaoke; blend in three tone-deaf Chinese old bags;
add three tablespoons of campiness, wackiness and organic sea salt;
spice it all up with a pinch of acid humour, and stir-fry on high for 50
minutes. Voila!
Penned by Rick in conjunction with Tony Taylor, SunRice takes
a light-hearted look at Rick's life and career, from his days growing
up in Hong Kong, through IT jobs in Europe and the US, and his
experiences as a migrant in Australia. You'll LOL at his hilarious tale
involving Charles and Diana's wedding.
Written by Rick Lau and Tony Taylor
