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.. So far, Yuexing has performed/shown works at Mabou Mines, St. Ann’s Warehouse, HERE Arts Center, University Settlement, Schaubühne Theater, Wuzhen Festival, etc.. She holds an BA in Japanese Studies from Beijing Foreign Studies University, an MFA in Theatre from Sarah Lawrence College.
