Versatile Artist Shares Her Talents In New York

Coming from over to New York and in the process of planting your own flag is never an easy task. Kui-Fang Tseng has stepped into the entertainment circuit and seems at home with all its facets. In her native Taiwan, she was an actor, singer, dancer, teacher, and hospital clown. She has brought all those disciplines to America with great anticipation.

“Drama and theater are powerful media to me. As a performer and a storyteller, I really love the process of working with a group of people and building a story together. And through our works, we can give messages to the audience, and then we will receive feedback and reaction from them as well. I often obtain lots of thoughts and energy after I watch a show or any kind of performance.“

She graduated from the Department of Drama and Theater, National Taiwan University, majoring in Acting. She became certified as a hospital clown which is not so many words a profession that which specially trained clowns perform customized impromptu performances in medical and nursing facilities. The mission of a hospital clown is to lift patients’ moods with the positive power of hope and humor. Also, to release the stress for the medical staff and families of patients. She was associated with the Dr. Rednose Association which is the most prestigious one in Asia. Learn more at drn.org.
