Jasmine Liaw is an emerging interdisciplinary artist, designer, and director in contemporary dance performance, new media art, and experimental film. Bicoastal, she is based in so-called Toronto and Vancouver.

Liaw holds a certificate diploma with Distinction from the Conteur Dance Academy in Toronto. She is a member and workshop facilitator of Dias:stories, a Toronto-based Southeast Asian research group. She’s grateful to have presented her work and collaborated with artists across so-called Canada and internationally.
