Cecilia Huang (黄馨萌Xinmeng Huang)
Cecilia Huang (She, they) is a drama major focusing on acting and theater technology. Growing up experiencing different cultural and social backgrounds, she gets a unique understanding of performance, universal aspects of human emotions, and the importance of arts as a revolution. Theatre had been an indispensable aspect of her life as she spent every weekend of her childhood in theaters and cinemas watching different kinds of performances. Starting in the first year of high school, she dedicated her full passion to the stage, participating in students' plays and community plays. She became the leader of her high school drama club in the last two years of high school and wrote her play in the background of their school life. Moving into college, she learned theatre at a more in-depth level through studying and working in different areas of theater. In her study-abroad school year in Shanghai, she worked part-time as an ASMs in the immersive theatre Sleep No More produced by the international wing of Punchdrunk Company. In her second year as an on-grounds drama major, she developed special interests in theatre scenic technology and worked at the drama department scene shop as a shop assistant starting Spring 2022. She continues to actively participate in acting rules as she declared the drama major and her first rule on-grounds is Charlie in Dinner With The Devil in the 2022 New Works Festival. As a conscious student and artist, Cecilia executes performing arts as a powerful non-violent tool to speak for those unheard, seek justice in inequality, and present subtle empathy among human beings.
