Mission of Pink Fang Pink Fang creates art at the intersection of performance, community building, and social change, rooted in the ethos and artistic legacy of Ping Chong.

About the Organization Pink Fang (formerly Ping Chong and Company; legal name Fiji Theater Company, Inc.) makes bold new works of performance and collaborates with generative artists, creating with curiosity, rigor, integrity, and provocation. Our approach to artmaking is rooted in experimentation, the blurring of disciplines, and drawing from lived experience. A community of fierce care is core to all that we make and do.

Pink Fang’s work lives in community centers, sacred spaces, theaters, and classrooms. Based in the East Village, NYC, at our longtime artistic home, La MaMa, we present and share our work across the country and around the world.

Intertwined with the creation and support of new work, Pink Fang is also passionate about securing Artistic Director Emeritus Ping Chong’s legacy and activating scholarly and artistic engagement with his archive of work. The company’s approach to artmaking crosses disciplinary boundaries through innovative developmental processes that integrate engagement and producing practices.

Pink Fang seeks a full-time Development and Communications Manager to join its team.

The role focuses on database and donor management, institutional giving management, and external communications, in collaboration with the leadership team and an external grant writing consultant.

The ideal candidate is both people- and systems-minded, able to navigate technology and communications platforms, spreadsheets, and databases, and capable of generating strong written copy for external communications. Pink Fang is primarily supported through institutional and government funding and is strategically prioritizing growth in individual giving as the organization enters a new era. This role requires deep alignment with the mission and a commitment to understanding and advancing Pink Fang’s work and programs.
