Denise

I (she/her) am a Malaysian Chinese-Australian actor, writer, director and photographer. Storytelling has been my lifeblood for as long as I can remember. Dance was my first creative medium, which led to a passion for musical theatre and then acting. Today, my greatest joy is writing and exploring stories that highlight the complex nuances of the human condition, especially dramedy, since 'all comedy comes from pain.' As Producer of HearHERoar, I am driven to create thought-provoking and inspiring work; bridging the ever-present gap within our global content zeitgeist.

I have appeared in film and television including Relentless, Playing Gracie Darling and Life After Fighting. My theatre credits include Torch the Place (Queensland Theatre Company), Three Fat Virgins Unassembled (Slanted Theatre/KXT) and Rock of Ages (SYMT). I am the writer of Kopi-Diem (Serpent Secrets/Slanted Theatre & NTofP) and short films Under the Influence (META/AACTALMAO), Help (Los Angeles Underground Film Forum) and What Community Means to Me - An Analysis (Shopfront Arts Co-op).
