Many productions go beyond a static staged presentation and add elements of music, dance and dynamic storytelling; their shows are an artistic blending of various Asian cultures. "Mu is the Korean pronunciation of the Chinese character Mu for the shaman-artist-warrior who connects the heavens and the earth through the tree of life." 〔 New Eyes is an annual playwriting festival which was started by Theater Mu in 1993. The goal was to find and encourage new Asian-American writers.〔 ==Sources== Rohan, Preston. (2008, March 13). Founder of Mu company honored with Sally Award. Star Tribune,B.2. Royce, G.
