Denise Uyehara is a writer, playwright and performance artist whose work explores what it means to be a woman, an Asian American, a bisexual and a human being, not necessarily in that order. She has engaged in experimental theater since 1988 and toured internationally since 1993. Uyehara also works extensively in collaborative projects. She is 1/4 of Sacred Naked Nature Girls, a culturally diverse experimental performance collective which has also been preented internationally. A former member of the Mark Taper Forum Mentor Playwrights Project, Uyehara recently received a playwriting commission from the Taper's Asian Theater Workshop. She has conducted numerous workshops with Asian American men and women, queer and straight, as well as with senior citizens. Her fiction, poetry and essays have appeared in the Lesbian News, the Rafu Shimp, L.A. Weekly and the Asian Pacific American Journal. The Los Angeles Times calls her "Compelling. . . . .Uyehara is definately one to watch." Featured in 1995 as "One of the Hundred Coolest People in L.A." by Buzz Magazine, she was chosen as "Best Performance Artist" among eight artists in the Western U.S. region in Entertainment Weekly. She was the recipient of numerous recognitions of excellence, including a New Langton Arts/National Endowment for the Arts grant; the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department to conduct an oral history project with seniors; the Brody Arts Fund; the James Irvine Fellowship; and the James Clavell American Japanese Literary Award. Uyehara holds a B.A. cum laude degree in Comparative Literature from University of California, Irvine, where she also studied fiction, playwriting, and theater.
