Tsoi Huen Wong
I am a performer and maker whose work spans dance, theatre, and performance. I have a regular movement practice in Contact Improvisation and Gaga, and I draw from postdramatic theatre and dance improvisation as the foundation of my collaborative making process. My creative journey began with training at Tang Shu-wing Theatre Studio’s Physical Theatre Institute in 2020/21. During that time, I performed with several Hong Kong-based physical/devised theatre companies, including Alice Theatre Laboratory and iStage. After relocating to the UK, I pursued a BA in Contemporary Performance Practice at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and have performed as an ensemble physical performer with companies such as Frantic Assembly, Vamos Theatre, and Tmesis Theatre. Currently, I’m developing an improvisational performance project, Anticlockwise, with Christiano Mere — a cross-disciplinary collaboration between my dance/theatre practice and Christiano’s background in visual art and capoeira. We see Anticlockwise as a creative process that explores how we negotiate differences: from our artistic languages, movement vocabularies, cultural backgrounds, and lived experiences — and how we build connection and understanding through making. My collaboration with Christiano sparks my interest in interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly the visual arts field, to develop a stronger visual arts language and way of thinking. Therefore, I am interested in participating in Room to Play, to learn about interactive installation, creative technology and visual compositions. I’m relocating to Edinburgh in May, therefore I am also eager to connect with and learn from other emerging artists in the city. I would love to gain further experience in interdisciplinary collaboration, gain new skills on multimedia installation while contributing my experience as a performer/maker.
