Guest Artist, The Cymbeline Project Episode 9

Jaerin Son is a play director, set designer, and puppet show creator from Korea. Her work includes plays, performance with movements, and dances. Her work often involves surreal images to depict a vivid reality of the real world rather than a rendition of illusion. Mrs. Son directed her own performance works such as This Is Not Shakespeare, Taste of Memories, and Dreadful Time in Korea. She designed stages for the World Cyber Games Festival in China, Odyssey (directed by Youngho Gwon) in Korea, and Vancouver (Ma-Yi Theater) in Chicago. She is currently working as a puppet and scenic designer at the Chicago Puppet Studio and in 2022, and was nominated as one of the fellowship artists at Links Hall.
