Yuexing (Star) Sun is a performance maker shifting between director, performer and designer. Her works center individual narratives as they confront larger social frame-works swayed by history, identity, and politics. Using the rhythm of language, multimedia and movement, she builds uncommon experiences embracing poetic physicality and multi-surfaced existence. Her work weaves intercultural texture from her Eastern/Western intertwined background. Yuexing is also a program manager who works on international festivals and projects in dance, theater, and performing arts fields such as Touch Contact Improvisation Festival, The Luminous Inclusive Arts Festival, GALA (choreographer: Jerome Bel), Time-To-Dance (with Scottish Ballet), etc..
