Hi! I'm Owen Kent Ing, a performer/ storyteller based in NY and LA
As an eclectic soul, my interests are vast and varied and often develop into small (or big) obsessions, including but not limited to: cats, world mythology, Dungeons & Dragons, social justice, and, of course, theatre. And, as a queer Asian-American artist, I am most passionate about telling the stories of intersectional people and creating a safer, more inclusive community to tell those stories in.
Beyond that, eclecticism is at the heart of my work. As someone born into a very musical family, I have dipped my toe into just about everything, from musical theatre to choral/classical voice to Shakespeare to gymnastics to modern and commercial dance, and loved it all. A true triple threat, my versatility and adaptability are my best friends, helping me bring myself to every project while still making sure the story is told, because after all, thats what a storyteller does.
