About Me

Born and raised in Chicago, Miles Chong is a Chinese-American, interdisciplinary theatre artist, educator, and activist with a passion for sharing and empowering stories centering the underrepresented. 

​

As a theatre artist and writer, most of his work focuses on exploring the intersections of perception, identity, and the Chinese-American experience. His most recent work, "Authenticity", a one person show, got him named one of the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art's (MCA's) "Best Artists Under 21" and was performed at the MCA over the summer.

​

Along with his artistic practice, Miles also works across Chicago as an art educator. Working across the city with institutions like the Steppenwolf Theatre, The Goodman Theatre, and the CPS Department of Art Education, his teaching philosophy is based in ensuring that other young people across Chicago have the resources and knowledge to tell and share their stories freely. Having been recognized as the "Youth Arts Leader" of Chicago by Urban Gateways for his work in art education and activism, he continues to share his passion and love for theatre with anyone that will listen.
