J CHEN PROJECT is a modern dance company based in NYC, founded in 2008.  The mission of J CHEN PROJECT is to start an artistic conversation.  It begins in the imagination of the artist, stretches onto the stage and lives on in those that witnessed the performance. We strive to accomplish this through performances, salons, mentoring, curating and inspiring artists to share their voice.
