Tomoki Sage wanders with us through experiences in the theater that mirror life as a person of the global majority in Jefferson county. Together we deconstruct the persona that wants to fit in the the dominant culture but never quite does and the what that makes possible.

Tomoki was a child of the forest. He spent many long hours as a boy running through the woods of Port Townsend without any shoes on. His family wasn't completely poor, they were just hippies living in the glories of mother nature.

Tomoki's parents are Aikido masters, so naturally, Tomoki was born to be a badass. From the tender age of three, he was doing backflips off the one piece of furniture in his house. As the land his family lived on got more developed, so did Tomoki's masterful ninja skills. With electricity came Jackie Chan movies. With hot water came showers. And before long Tomoki was wearing shoes.
