J CHEN PROJECT (JCP), formed in 2008, is a modern dance company based in New York City exploring how we perceive and create identities within the collective human experience through innovative and culturally-based dance works and community engagement initiatives.  

The Company provides high-caliber dance education and professional career advancement workshops to pre-professional dancers, as part of its Mentorship Program.  JCP's newest program, launched in 2019, is #C3 CORE Choreography Competition that identifies one emerging to mid-career choreographer who will receive a commission to create a new work on JCP dancers.  

Within the past 10 years, the Company has been fortunate to receive generous funding from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Center, Jerome Foundation, and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in NY.  J CHEN PROJECT's work has been commissioned by Rutgers University, Desales University, Orange County School of the Arts, Yangtze Repertory Theater, and Women in Dance, with press featured in The Huffington Post, Broadway World and Dance Magazine.
