Description Stories Then and Now - emerges not only from his precedent but under his auspices, in directorial partnership with writer and broadcaster Annette Shun Wah. It presents the personal narratives of a series of Asian Australians, delivered in the Yang style, against a slideshow backdrop of family archive photos. Each piece is deftly scripted - concise, colourful, characterful. The skill of the writing and editing is clearly why the work has been linked to the OzAsia literary program, OzAsia on Page. Indeed, the show emerged under the umbrella of the Sydney Writers' Festival.
