Jovita SIU Ji Chin 蕭芷芊
SIU Ji Chin Jovita (b. 1996, Hong Kong; based in Prague, Czech Republic) is a theatre director, actor, whose practice bridges devised and object theatre, movement, puppetry, and ensemble-based creation. She graduated in 2025, with a MA in Directing of Devised and Object Theatre from the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU).
Jovita’s artistic inquiry unfolds through autobiographical materials, memory, shared realities, and absence–presence, using theatre as a mode of empathetic engagement and collective reflection. Her work often explores how landscapes of memory and lived experience can be translated into performative and visual forms, consistently foregrounding materiality, embodied practice, and ensemble co-creation. Jovita’s practice is rooted in devising processes that prioritize collaboration, material research, and embodied dramaturgy.
Her training encompasses a diverse range of movement and physical theatre practices, synthesizing approaches influenced by Jacques Lecoq and Jerzy Grotowski, as well as Chinese Tai Chi, Japanese Butoh, and Kalaripayattu, with a particular focus on collective creation and devised performance methodologies.
Jovita, together with Kristina Kellnerová (CZ/ES) form the Prague-based duo collective OSU. Combining their distinct approaches, they explore multidisciplinary practices and alternative ways of relating to audiences. Their work, developed through projects such as anytime, anywhere and The Mending Room, navigates themes of memory, fragmentation, migration, and collective struggles, blending movement, objects and audiovisual elements through a lens of magical realism.
Jovita is also a founding member of the Hong Kong–based collective Feast on Waste Land, whose first production Far Far Away received the Adelaide Fringe Tour Ready Award and toured Australia (2020).
Her recent performance include Spider, Turtle, We (Ran Jiao); One in All / All in One (Nobodies’ Theatre); the international mask work Papa (Théâtre de la Feuille; touring HK, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan); and Devil’s Realm (A Studio Rubín, Prague).
