Ningning Yang is a scenic designer for theatre and screens. Also an exploring artist currently interested in the audiovisual experience.

Ningning spent the past several years pursuing scenic design, but found herself using the skills and interest in other art forms like performance art, installations and music. She believes everything is connected, Art is about sharing your voice with others, to connect and provoke resonance, thoughts or empathy. Ningning is always looking for new ways of creating, inspiring and raising questions. She is excited to meet collaborators that she can share voices and create with in various ways. Ningning is enthusiastic to work in theater, film and other live events, to help curate collaborators’ visions, and find opportunities to showcase her own story.
