I am Vinna, a London based actor and interdisciplinary artist. My ancestors crossed the sea from China to British colonial Malaya, and I am the eldest daughter born to a family of resourceful immigrants who gave me all they did not have, and allowed me the privilege to live as an artist today. 

My acting training is rooted in 20th century Eastern European lineages influenced by Asian theatrical practices, but my craft is inspired by the soil under my feet, the river in my veins and the melodies that surround me. 

I am a collector of sounds and impressions, transmuting them into experiences through performance, poetry and soundscapes. My art is a constant conversation with my inner world, my biases, my pains, my joys. It is the external manifestation of what I feel brave enough to share at any moment in time, or a letting live of what is no longer mine to hold. My art is my drop in the ocean, my hope, my surrender and my rebellion. 

Let this bio serve as a start of our conversation.
