A theatre production by Zee Zee Theatre
A comedy about hockey, culture, relationships and sex. Two teenage hockey players and their dads are told both boys will be kicked off the team unless they have a “feelings circle” in the hockey dressing room. Why? Because one dad punched the other in the face. In 90 hilarious minutes, these guys get to know each other and themselves a whole lot better. Maybe they discover there is more than one way to “win”?

WHAT IS THE SHOW ABOUT?
“Kim’s convenience” by Ins Choiis a Canadian comedy phenomenon! Mr. Kim, a Korean shopkeeper, grapples with both a changing neighborhood landscape and the chasm between him and his second-generation offspring. This journey of a fractured but loving family forgiving the past and confronting the future is a Canadian classic. Ins Choi’s hilarious and touching debut play inspired the hit TV show of the same name.

This research is being conducted by Bryan Hemingway, as a part of their Masters of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program.
This research is being supervised by Dr. Laura Nimmon (Principal Investigator) (laura.nimmon@ubc.ca) and Dr. Debra Russell (drussell@ualberta.ca).
A high-quality patient-practitioner relationship is supportive of a wide range of important health outcomes. Yet, at present, little is known how the introduction of an interpreter influences the development and experience of patient-practitioner rapport. As a result, healthcare practitioners and healthcare interpreters are often left to guess at best practice for promoting high-quality relationships with patients who use minority languages.
It is hoped that through this study we can better understand the experience of engaging in relational work while using an interpreter. In turn, we hope through this study we can provide additional guidance for promoting high-quality relationships in interpreter-mediated healthcare interactions.
This research is guided by the question: How are patient-practitioner relationships experienced in interpreter-mediated non-emergency healthcare appointments?
