Wendy Yu | Choreographer · Immersive Media Designer

About

Creating moving visual environments for stages, screens, and public spaces.

Hi, I'm Wendy. An Australian artist trained in dance. Movement carries more than most people ever get to see - and that invisibility is exactly what makes 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.

Work

Areas of Practice

01

Urban Media & Digital Placemaking

Responsive urban environments that make invisible city data legible, beautiful, and human. Site-specific work for public space where scale, civic clarity, and long dwell time matter.

2M+ Visitors Reached

02

Performing Arts

Theatrical design and projection-led scenography where choreography stays readable without being explained away. Built for seasons, galleries, and touring ensembles.

03

Brand Collabs

Immersive launches and spatial storytelling for teams that need movement, data, and live systems to read as one gesture. Collaboration-first, built for real venues and real deadlines.

04

Research & Development

Proof-of-concept prototypes and research-through-design: small apparatus where movement and computation teach each other before a commission asks them to scale.

How it all connects

All four areas share the same methodology: real inputs (bodies, data, place) translated into motion systems for built environments.

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."
