Wu is a Chinese interdisciplinary artist and writer whose work spans dance improvisation, vocalization, videography, and performance poetry. Her practice explores art as a distillation of existence, often engaging performance as daily ritual to create spaces for conscious and subconscious depth, while fostering contemplation, recycling, and community connection.
She is the co-founder of Thursday Afternoon Lab, a performance collective comprising artist-researchers, performance-makers, actors, and somatic practitioners based in Beijing, New York and London. Their work has been showcased at venues such as the Danish Culture Center (Beijing), Yuan Museum, and the abC Art Book Fair. Since 2023, she has collaborated with the Untitled Group as dramaturg and writer. In 2024, she was a resident artist at the Amerta Residency Program in Hawaii. Wu serves as the research director and instructor for Beijing Contact Improvisation and is the program curator for Body-Time Contact Improv Festival 2024 & 2025. She recently performed at Movement Research Judson Memorial Church in Spring 2025.
As the Lxl Resident Wu for June 2025, Wu will be testing old-new materials at the Brooklyn Peace Center on Saturday 21st June.
Doors at 5:45pm.
