## Biography
A multi-disciplinary performance maker and researcher, a member of _\_ao\_ao\_ing ensemble_, with MA in Performance Making (Goldsmiths) and BA in Literature and History of art (HKU). She shifts deftly between the artistic, technical, and theoretical aspects of performance. Her recent practices focus on reflecting on contemporary daily encounters, especially in the urban context, and exploring alternative angles to understand and experience space and place, with an interest in sound as a medium and food as materials.
