About the Organization
Pink Fang (formerly Ping Chong and Company; legal name Fiji Theater Company, Inc.) makes bold new works of performance and collaborates with generative artists, creating with curiosity, rigor, integrity, and provocation. Their approach to artmaking is through experimentation, blurring of discipline, and drawing from lived experience. A community of fierce care is core to all that they make and do. Pink Fang’s work lives in community centers, sacred spaces, theaters, and classrooms. Based in the East Village, NYC at their longtime artistic home, La MaMa, they present and share the work all over the country and the world. Intertwined with the creation
and support of new work, Pink Fang is also passionate about securing Artistic Director Emeritus Ping Chong’s legacy and activating scholarly and artistic engagement with his archive
of work. The company’s approach to artmaking crosses disciplinary boundaries through innovative developmental processes that integrate engagement and producing practices.

Originally founded in 1975 by legendary theatrical innovator Ping Chong, the company has now completed a three-year planned transition following his retirement in 2022. Beginning on July 1,
