Steve Cuiffo is a theater maker and illusion designer who creates work at the intersection of sleight of hand, engineering, and performance. Cuiffo began his career as an Associate Artist with the Wooster Group where he developed a performance aesthetic rooted in the deconstruction of theatrical forms. His practice merges the rigorous technique of the conjuror with the experimental methods of devised theater. As a creator, his credits include the absurdist extravaganza Elephant Room (Center Theatre Group) and the documentary-magic duet A Simulacrum (Atlantic Theater Company). His design work ranges from the high-tech spectacle of David Blaine Live to the analog precision of Dana H. on Broadway. Cuiffo is the co-founder of Secret Arts.
