About

Dancer + Immersive Media Designer

Hi, I'm Wendy. I'm an Australian artist with a background in dance. Creating moving visual environments for stages, screens, and public spaces. I believe movement carries more than most people ever get to see, and it's that invisibility that's makeing it feel like something only for professionals. I build visual systems that make movement visible, because once you can see how it works, it becomes something you want to be part of.

Perspectives

What collaborators say

"Wendy Yu's work is a mesmerizing practice that sits at the intersection of choreography, creative coding, and projection art. Her ability to bring dance into urban media art removes the need to have an interest or knowledge of dance because you can stumble on it."

Ashleigh Kane Glorious Sport

"Wendy Yu's superb video and AV design is totally transportive. The immense projections loom above the storytellers, seeming to dwarf them with the power of their myths."

Caroline Stafford Theatre Reviews Perth

"Wendy Yu's superb video and AV design is totally transportive. There is a giddy, self-aware sense of abandon that disguises a very real and serious examination of beliefs and spiritual philosophy."

Tim Byrne The Guardian

"The visual feast created through projection art transforms spaces into immersive storytelling environments. The work flows seamlessly from reality to dreamscape, creating an experience that is both visually overpowering and emotionally resonant."
