A theatre director and performer, she merges the precision and depth of Eastern performance traditions with the innovation of contemporary Western experimental forms. Holding a BA in Chinese Opera Directing from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and an MA in Performance Design from Central Saint Martins, Yi brings a unique cross-cultural perspective to the stage. Her work spans international collaborations and boundary-pushing projects, including an award-winning micro-short series recognised at the 14th Beijing International Film Festival. Her directing and performance works have been presented at numerous venues and international festivals, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Camden Fringe.
