You know that scene we're talking about... the one you used to skip when the parents are around and rewind when they're asleep.
Featuring celebrity guests Victoria Pedretti (Netflix's You), Myha'la Herrold (HBO's Industry), and Jessie Gender (Youtube's The Advocate), The Sex Scene explores how female sexual pleasure is actually represented on screen. What’s the history? And how does it affect us today? Ariel and Daryl are here to guide you with humorous live history lessons, clips, interviews, and interactive polls where audiences help “stimulate” the conversation.
Vivian Or Else
CREATOR & WRITER
WRITTEN by Vivian Or
1/2 Hour TV Comedy Series
Vivian Or, an (oblivious) sapphic millennial, has spent years playing it safe on the path to adulthood, only to be unceremoniously dumped by her long-term boyfriend soon after turning thirty. Now, Vivian is forced to reinvent herself, moving back in with her mom and rekindling the friendships she left behind — in particular, Rhea, her best friend who always felt like something more.
Meanwhile her supportive and loving Asian mother is determined to explore the modern-day landscape of what it truly means to live her best middle-aged life.
Think the post-breakup reinvention and ride-or-die friendships of New Girl but with Asian women.

quarter-life quarantine
ARTIST
ART by Vivian Or
Mixed Media & Acrylic on Canvas Board
quarter life quarantine was inspired by a collection of anonymous “Covid-19 Confessions”. It was initially commissioned by Convergence Theatre and showcased in their digital COVID gallery. It can also be seen in the archives of Quarantine Qapsule curated by Tea Base at Myseum of Toronto.
It can be viewed vertically or horizontally as two people holding hands or one person washing their hands. It is truly a quarantine life crisis, to be washing your hands, and longing for another person’s touch.
