Cinthia Chen is an interdisciplinary artist, technologist, and director based in Brooklyn and Taiwan. She is interested in art-making and performance as ritual, that both engages with the self and with community, to explore memory, hybrid identities, and future spiritualism. She uses audiovisual technologies in her work to amplify these ideas and emotions and delights in blending mythos with documentary.
She has created and developed original work through Theater Mitu, Mabou Mines, Fault Line Theater, Target Margin Theater, Corkscrew Theater Festival, and Asian American Arts Alliance. She is an adjunct artist at Theater Mitu and co-facilitates their Hybrid Arts Lab fellowship, which supports trans, non-binary, and women artists working at the intersection of performance and technology.
For her work as a video and projections designer, she was recognized at La MaMa’s Design Fest 2020 and USITT Prague Quadrennial 2023. Recent projects include: “Salesman之死” (Connelly Theater), “The Healing Shipment” (La Mama), “Where Are You?” (Mabou Mines), “Specially Processed American Me” (Dixon Place), “Matilda the Musical” (Buskirk-Chumley Theater), and “american (tele)visions” (NYTW, asst. designer).
