Ping Chong & Company (PCC)

PCC creates theater and art that reveal beauty, invention, precision, and a commitment to social justice.

 

PCC is a welcoming home and site of experimentation for multigenerational artists. The company creates original interdisciplinary, community-specific work; and cultivates artistry through training and education programs. Originally, founded in New York City in 1975 by legendary theatrical innovator, Ping Chong, the company is now being transformed through a three-year transition period led by an Artistic Leadership Team comprised of Nile Harris, Jane Jung, Mei Ann Teo, Talvin Wilks, and Sara Zatz. Tasked with creating a forward moving model for PCC building on its 50 year legacy, this collective is centering consensus based, non-hierarchical leadership structures, while creating exciting dynamic works of art that meet the moment and speak to our times.

 

The work of the company is organized into the following pillars: New Work, Engagement, and Archive . New Work consists of large scale commissioned productions by our Artistic Leaders, such as our recent production this house is not a home at the Under the Radar Festival. Engagement encompasses Undesirable Elements, one of PCC’s most enduring and far-reaching projects. It is an ever-expanding series of collaborative, interview-based theater works. And our Education programs, rooted in UE methodologies, offer tools for dialogue and connection, and create supportive spaces for artistic skill-building and joyful discovery through training programs and in universities and K-12 schools. Archive encompasses our Founding Artistic Director Ping Chong’s body of work, generated over a prolific 50 year career. At its core, PCC is guided by principal values of Artistic Creativity, Humanity, Equity, Community Building, and Education. Consistent with our 50 year history PCC endures as a creative home holistically supporting the needs of artists of color. We prioritize working collaboratively with artists as organizational leaders authoring the institutional frame that their creations inhabit.

She has co-created and produced dozens of works in the series and overseen the creation and implementation of in-school arts education and training programs to share the methodology of Undesirable Elements with other artists and community members.

She has spoken and presented workshops on community-engaged theater at many conferences and

"As we look to the future of the company, I am excited about the space of evolution, nurturing and care with communities, building trust, willingness to take artistic risks, using art/storytelling to create spaces of belonging, hopefully to create meaningful dialogue and engage in civic discourse, making space for stories that would not otherwise get told or heard.

 

I first came to Ping Chong and Company as a college intern in 1997. One of the first productions I saw was ‘Kwaidan,’ as part of the Henson International Festival of Puppet Theater, ‘Kwaidan’ was transformative - to see how puppetry could be imagined, playing with perspectives, and scale. It really opened my eyes to the creative possibilities, innovation, and literal play of perspective that Ping was so masterful in creating. But the work that changed my life was the ‘Undesirable Elements’ series, which I first encountered in 2000, as a production associate on Secret Histories, at the Ohio Theater. Since joining the company full time in 2002, I have led the UE work, and the evolution of our community programming. ‘Undesirable Elements,’ as a series, and methodology, has continuously showed me that theater can be beautiful, entertaining, transformative, and also truly serve as a tool for building meaningful connections, fostering dialogue, and facilitating change."
