About Stephanie
Stephanie is an actor, writer & theatre maker based in London.
Stephanie’s passion for theatre began when she joined her first school production at age 15. Since then, she has gone on to perform in schools, at children’s parties, and at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. She has also taught English Drama to English as a Second Language (ESL) students in primary and secondary schools and co-directed a Shakespearean student production at the University of Hong Kong.
Stephanie has been expressing herself creatively from a young age through artistic means such as painting pictures, as well as writing stories, poems and scripts. She has always been interested in how ideas are communicated, whether through words, performing arts, or visual storytelling. As a dual citizen of Hong Kong and Canada, she has developed a keen interest in seeing the world. She has lived in Hong Kong, Canada, Sweden, and now England, and hopes to take her work to even more international stages.
In her free time, Stephanie has been swing dancing regularly, playing in various improvisational theatre teams, and attends every creative workshop she could find. She has obtained a Master’s degree in Collaborative Theatre Making at Rose Bruford College and currently works as a freelance practitioner in London, England.
Mission Statement
What I believe in
I believe creating art is a vital part of making sense of our humanity. Art is meant to reflect the world around us, to provoke and challenge us, and it prompts us to explore the big questions in life.
With my work, I hope to break the silence on weighty subjects such as loneliness, grief, mental health, cultural identity, family dynamics and more. Art is a powerful healing agent and I wish to connect people together through sharing stories in an honest and vulnerable way. Only then will we see that we are not alone and are welcome to dialogue openly about important issues. It also serves as an effective means to help us redefine our life narratives, empowering us to take ownership of our stories.
Last but not least, through art we learn to explore and appreciate who we are. Many of my students have discovered the joy of expressing their emotions through play and creative use of their minds and bodies, which I believe greatly enhance their living experience.
