Michelle Sui is a multidisciplinary artist, performer, choreographer, and director from Los Angeles. Their immersive multimedia works merge film, installation, dance, music, and oral history to examine the body and voice in relation to cinematic histories, language in translation, the performance of femininity, and the dislocations of memory. These experimental operas, complex encounters in duet with historic neighborhoods, scores with dancers and non-dancers, interactive installations, and documentary films have been presented in Germany, Italy, Poland, Republic of Georgia, and throughout and the Unites States.

Michelle's work has received support from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Center for Asian American Media, Sundance, Rauschenberg Foundation, California Arts Council, New York Foundation for the Arts, Bang on a Can, La MaMa Umbria, and Poets and Writers. They have taught voice and improvisation at UC Irvine, University of Michigan, Loyola Marymount University, and the Music Center. Michelle’s 2020 film Street Angel,  on Los Angeles Chinatown, has screened across the U.S. and internationally and is currently streaming on Aeon, which calls it "an exploration of Chinese American identity and culture that’s exponentially more sophisticated than the vast majority of media…over the past century."

Michelle Sui was commissioned by the LA County Department of Arts and Culture to create a temporary artwork as a member of the Public Artists in Development (PAiD) program’s Artist Council.
