Our Evolving Journey
Before founding West Coast Cultural Lab, our team led a wide range of impactful, community-centered projects under the former organization MyVoice.
These projects spanned theatre, community art, cross-cultural collaboration, and documentary storytelling — amplifying underrepresented voices and exploring social themes through creative expression.
While West Coast Cultural Lab marks a new chapter, the spirit of these past projects continues to shape our work today, inspiring how we blend art, culture, and technology to build connection.
Theatre & Performance
Community-devised shows exploring local stories, social issues, and intergenerational dialogue. International collaborations across Taiwan, Korea, Nepal, Mexico, and France.
Community Art & Workshops
Participatory art and theatre invite the community to co-create visual and multimedia works, empowering youth, seniors, and women to share their stories through workshops.
Film & Digital Storytelling
Short films and documentaries capturing identity, memory, and social change.
Local and international collaborations exploring art, advocacy, and lived experience.
Highlight Projects
The Battle of Mum (2022) – Mexico
THEATRE
A bilingual, music theatre developed with local artists and mothers. The work explored exhaustion, love, and identity in a post-pandemic world — asking what it means to care for others while also needing care ourselves.
“It’s okay to not be okay. We’re not alone.”
La Elección (2019–2020) – Bolivia
THEATRE
Collaborating with Latin-American artists, included Bolivian, Peruvian and Mexican to use the poetic theatre to bring audiences into our world – a broken promise world, so the audiences can empathy how important is the promise.
Community Art Projects
A series of community-based art projects engaging youth, seniors, and cross-border artists. Programs included diverse forms such as devised theatre, playback theatre, forum theatre, and art workshops — all rooted in real stories and collective creation.
The Cycle (2021) – Mexico
DANCE FILM
A cross-cultural dance film inspired by Walt Whitman’s poem “O Me! O Life!”, questioning our existence, purpose, and the overwhelming rhythm of city life.
The film explores the cyclical relationship between humans and nature — how we disconnect, return, and repeat — using movement as the language of tension and renewal.
