About Me:
I am a performer, writer, teacher, and theatre-maker from Hong Kong. I graduated from Princeton in 2016 with an undergraduate degree in English, Theatre, and Gender & Sexuality Studies. In September 2020, I received my masters degree in Advanced Theatre Practice from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
At Princeton, I wrote and performed a play based on interviews with clowns - I.M. LOST! - as my thesis. I developed this show further for productions at Dixon Place and Theater for the New City. I then created SCUM, a devised ensemble piece about Valerie Solanas and Carolyn Sapp, and performed it at The Duplex, Dixon Place, Xixi Studios, ShapeShifter Lab, and The Brick. As co-founder of Gash Theatre, I created the virtual theatre pieces Gash Theatre Makes a ThirstTrap and Gash Theatre Gets Ghosted (both streamed with The Tank, Theatre Deli, and Camden People’s Theatre). Ghosted then streamed through Assembly Festival at the Edinburgh Fringe 2021, receiving critical acclaim and becoming an Offie award finalist. Our company’s first live theatre production — Gash Theatre Needs Some Space — premiered with Assembly Festival for Edinburgh Fringe 2022. My most recent piece with Gash Theatre, Shelley, premiered at Camden People’s Theatre in May 2024.
I have taught clown and theatre with Princeton University, the Trenton Youth Leadership Development Program, Shadow Box Theatre, YWCA NYC, the Quad Manhattan, Skipz Productions, and 1st Note Education.
As an artist, I like excess. I like genre, and meta-theatricality, and striptease, and games, and vulgarity. I like when things actually happen on stage. I like when actors get tired and sweaty. I like people who fight to be happy.
