In 2019, he enrolled in Whittier College with a self-designed major titled Social Theatre, which combines theatre, art and music with ethnographic methods. Dayquan often jokes that he is an "artist in anthropologist drag," because his creative process is so research-based. Dayquan works has changed significantly during his time at Whittier, as he did not have access to live theatre due to the pandemic. Dayquan began branching out to other disciplines, including sound art, digital performance art, and installation work that he could create from home.
“Now, "In Our Glory," will serve as my senior project at Whittier College. It is the culmination of four years of my studies, and eight-years of experience with my research-based craft.” Dayquan made the decision to focus on the experiences of immigrant and international students with this piece because he wants to celebrate the melting-pot that is Whittier. In an era where xenophobia and people’s fear of "the Other" is rising, Dayquan believes that this is more important than ever.
