Po-Chieh CHEN is the Artistic Director of the creative duo Ars Association, working across creation, performance, teaching, and curatorial practice.

Chen’s work centers on the body as her primary artistic vocabulary. Through acute sensory awareness and deeply rooted physical expression, she shapes a distinctive dance aesthetic. Her practice of “integrated creation” weaves together dance, video, objects, spatial environments, and diverse media, forming an organic artistic structure that flows across disciplines and mediums. Her artistic spirit emerges from an inquiry into the body and its essence, extending toward reflections on personal history, lived experience, and social consciousness.

Her creations span a wide range of forms, including dance, physical theatre, and opera, presented across traditional theatres and site-specific performance spaces.
