Andrea Ling

Director, Writer & Interdisciplinary Artist.
Working for social change and connection through art.

My work focuses on social change and investigate global issues, culture, and identity from an ‘other’ or global perspective. My work either falls into theatre, film, visual arts or falls between these practises and more. For me, it’s about finding the right form for a story or conversation to take hold of the audience.
