YZ JASA is a queer non-binary multi-hyphenate theatre artist. Born in the Philippines and raised in Singapore and Guam, they have somehow ended up in Hartford, CT after a decade-long stint in NYC. They graduated with a BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and have a love for musical theatre, physical ensemble-based theatre, stage combat along with Commedia dell’Arte and Shakespeare. Before coming to Fractured Atlas, Yz toured with companies across the globe, performed in regional theaters and helped develop several new plays and musicals with emerging writers. As an educator and choreographer, Yz has worked with communities and schools nationally and internationally to use dance and movement as a form of healing. In their free time, you can find them cloud watching, doing tarot readings and cooking meals that remind them of their many childhood homes.
