About Chayton
a multi-hyphenate performance artist.
Chayton is a creator and advocate originally from Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated with honors from Yale University in 2021 with a B.A in Theater and Performance Studies. While at Yale, he studied Acting, Modern Dance, Playwriting, and Musical Theater under the Shen Curriculum.
Chayton is an award-winning performer. Upon graduating Yale, Chayton won the Stanton Wheeler and Marcia Chambers Awards for outstanding contributions to the arts though his solo-work, most notably his thesis performance: FLORES CAÍDOS.
Chayton is also a proud alumnus of the Georgia Governors Honor's Program for Theater Performance (2016). He has been a student, teacher and practitioner of the performing arts all his life, creating work that investigates the untold stories of his communities. Chayton is devoted to bringing the traditionally underrepresented stories to the stage and screen.
His solo-work has focused on Love, Loss, Queer Magic, Latinx heritage, Identity, and the challenges of navigating politically fraught worlds.
In another life, Chayton was an evolutionary biologist who specialized in genetics and researched some Lophotrochozoa. As much as he tries, he cannot escape his background in STEM.
