Suet Wa Tam is a performer, improviser and choreographer, and pharmacist from Hong Kong, currently based in Berlin.

Since 2018, she has worked as a dancer, performer, co-choreographer, collaborator, and production assistant in the performance fields.

In her creations, she blends dance with medias and languages, further pushing and continually evolving approach to use dance to reflect different life situation . She is also interested in exploring the perception of time and consciousness, using performance as a unique art form to challenge and reshape perceptions of temporality.

Her artistic research includes themes of immigration, the diasporic body, body archives, and memory. Reflecting her family’s history of migration and current circumstances of being a stranger, she uses movement to investigate the notions of home and belonging. She finds subtle yet powerful strategies to address body politics and explores the aesthetics of ambiguity, responding to the evolving language and new rules of an ever-changing homeland.
