Wendy Zhuo is a Singaporean actor and artist based in Los Angeles. An alumnus of Singapore's Intercultural Theater Institute, her works moves between stage, screen, movement and visual art. Rooted in the body, her practice draws from traditional art forms such as Noh Theatre, Chinese Opera, and Butoh, guided by Atsushi Takenouchi and Tadashi Endo.
Her screen work includes Morte Cucina (38th Tokyo International Film Festival), Tā 他 (American Film Institute Fest), Yiyi (依依) (Locarno International Film Festival), Hour of the Flower (36th Singapore International Film Festival), and HBO Asia's Serangoon Road. On stage, she has performed in Four Horse Road (The Theater Practice), Quest of The White Hare (Toy Factory Productions), and Windward Side of The Mountain (THE Dance Company and Nine Years Theatre).
As a Butoh practitioner, she has performed internationally with Jinen Butoh, including Rebellion of the Body in Italy, and later starred in and choreographed Tā 他, a Butoh-informed short film that premiered at AFI Fest. Her work extends into films such as Roots and Emak, where movement becomes a meditation on inherited gestures, buried time, and the stories carried in the body.
She recently completed an artist residency at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, where she continued her research across live performance and moving image.
