About the Speaker:
Elysa Wendi is a Singaporean dance artist and filmmaker based in Hong Kong. In 2008, after dancing for ten years professionally, she began experimenting on choreographic ideas with the medium of film, performances and curatorial projects. She is a co-founder of Cinemovement, a platform facilitating the creation of dance films through a laboratory setting and cultural exchanges. Since 2018, Wendi has been working as an independent curator for dance and film programmes, including the Jumping Frames International Dance Video Festival. Interested in the abstraction of memory from place, time and biographical traces, Wendi explores these themes in her live and filmic works. Her short film 1958 Delivery has been lauded for its artful juxtaposition of photography, history and performative rituals, and won her the best experimental film award at the 2018 South Taiwan Film Festival.
