Krys Yuan (she/her) is a theatre artist who acts, writes, creates stories, and never stops learning. A recent graduate of Intercultural Theatre Institute, she continues to find inspiration in the rich dialogue between contemporary and traditional performing arts. She is often drawn to exploring the "in-between"—the spaces between cultures, between human ambition and fallibility, between reality and fiction. Play, openness, and building community are integral to her performance practice, so come play with her!
