Ching Chu graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2016, and began her contemporary dance training since 2018. Roaming from visual to performing arts, by reflecting on existing experience, she searches for the boundary as well as the intertwined relationship between art and daily life, to seek more possibilities for continuous artistic enquiries and creative practice. She aims for interdisciplinary performative collaborations and research.
Ching is currently receiving full-time contemporary dance training at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and is expected to graduate in mid 2024. During her study in the academy, she has been a continuous recipient of HKAPA Scholarships, awarded HSBC Hong Kong Scholarships, and Stephen Kwok Memorial Fund for summer intensive training in TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA 2023 in Munich, Germany.
Recent creative engagements: Cooperative Fantasies, Unlock Body Lab: dance-to-be 2023, presented by Unlock Dancing Plaza; All the Tired Horses, presented in ‘Palette’, dance work showcase of Choreographic Workshop I, School of Dance, HKAPA.

2016年於香港中文大學藝術系畢業，於2018年開展現代舞訓練。從視覺藝術遊走到表演場域，藉著對既有經驗的反思作為創作出發點，找尋藝術與日常接洽的邊界，呈現兩者相互交織的關係開啟更多延續思考和實踐的可能。朱氏樂於參與跨範疇實驗性表演、創作和研究。
