Tina Ruan

Storyteller in New York

Currently developing an intimate piece exploring the language of loss, she is curious about how one acquires the vocabularies to think, talk and dream about loss, from which love arises.

A founding member of ALL THREE, a performance trio whose work engages storytelling and creative expression among themselves and with others. The ensemble is her joint creation with the late Robbie McCauley, a multidisciplinary theater artist and teacher, and Eric Rasmussen, a long time New York actor. There are three generations and three ethnicities among them. ALL THREE invites expansion of where/what theater could be and transforms the space into one which heightens listening, physical presence and dialogue.

Previously, she developed marketing strategies and brand content for clients in F&B and fashion. And her work with nonprofits and Microfinance organizations has brought her to different parts of Asia, including mangrove villages in Mindanao and the oldest rainforest in the world. She read law in Taipei and currently lives in New York.
