ABOUT
Chuang, Chih-heng (born in 1981) , theatre lighting designer, artistic director of Silver Lining Production and Aye Theatre, director of the Taiwan Association of Theatre Technology. Graduated from the Department of Theatrical Design and Technology, Taipei National University of the Arts, Chuang conducted researches on the design of lighting during the years in school. He employed different perspectives while dealing with various artworks, thus creating a unique fashion of manipulating lights and shadows. In 2015, Chuang represented Taiwan attending the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space with the lighting design work, Visible & Invisible in the Czech Republic, and won the Bronze Award at the Professional Lighting Designer with the very same artwork in the 2017 World Stage Design Exhibition. Two years later, the production, Break & Break! Dance Video Exhibition co-designed by Chuang and choreographer Chou, Shu-Yi won the Performing Arts Award of the 17th Taishin Arts Award.
In recent years, he began to try his light creation and published the laser installation, Sundial of being (2019) and Macbeth Effect (2022) at the Treasure Hill Light Festival. Among Taiwanese theatrical designers of his generation, Chuang is one of the few seen on the international platform.
Besides dedicating lighting design and personal creation, Chuang has always been concerned about the labor rights of theater technicians. He was invited by National Taichung Theater to be the curator of the theatre technician photography exhibition, Staff Only, Not Only Staff in 2020 and The 33th Golden Melody Awards For Traditional Arts And Music’s award ceremony (2022) .
