Jo Chiang is a Taiwanese-American actor, writer, filmmaker, and activist based in New York City. She has trained under Tom Nelis (SITI Company), Sharon Fogarty (Mabou Mines), Charise Greene (The Affair), and the San Francisco Mime Troupe. She studied theatre and women’s leadership at Barnard College, undertaking research that investigated the performance of the body as a site of resistance. Her film work has been featured by Women & Hollywood, Athena Film Festival, Wifey.tv, Everyday Feminism, and Upworthy. Her work as an actor has mostly fallen into two categories– that is, really weird German theatre and Shakespeare, while her work as a writer tends to lean towards the dystopic and the odd heist film. She served on the Executive Board of the King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe and is a founding member of The Found Co.
