Abstract

This issue of Asian Theatre Journal, which includes papers from the symposium "Founders of the Field: First-Generation Asian Theatre Scholars in the United States," has been a collaborative effort of many members of the Association of Asian Performance. It began with a loss: Andrew Tsubaki, a longtime friend and member of the Association for Asian Performance (AAP) died in 2009. The wish of members to commemorate his work at our annual conference led to the presentations and papers that form the spine of this issue. AAP officers Siyuan Liu and David Jortner, who guest edited these symposium papers, put together a panel for our 2010 conference that included Tsubaki's work and considered a larger number of individuals who had contributed--men who had helped establish the study of Asian theatre in Drama and related departments in the United States. Colin Mackerras, who taught primarily in Australia, is the one scholar in this issue who did not do his teaching or performance work here, but his example and mentorship made his inclusion important. The symposium was held at the Association for Asian Performance Conference in Los Angeles on 3 August 2010. To keep the number of presentations manageable, the symposium
