Program Director
The 2013 season of the Vancouver Chinatown Market marked a new vision for the 18-year summer tradition. In working with managing director, Tannis Ling and a dedicated project team, we bolstered the market's relevance as an all-ages social hub by developing thirteen weekends of original stage entertainment and events between June and September.
The 2013 season introduced original programming such as The Chinatown Ping Pong Club, The Chinatown Mahjong Social, The Chinatown Outdoor Cinema and the Bao Bei Dumpling Cook-Off & Derby.
The Market was also host to local community performers; Rain City Chronicles, Hip Hop Karaoke, Roku Taiko, The Hastings St. Band, Kingsgate Chorus, The Project Limelight Variety Show, St. James Music Academy, The Okinawan Drummers, Tin Can Studios, Green Burrito Records and The Vancouver Police Department Lion Dance Team.
