I t is now further developed to embark on a journey to meet 100 choreographers from 10 countries with the initiative of 1000 Performative Interpretations on their books. In 2013, Wendi received a mentorship grant from National Arts Council Singapore to study with Chinese filmmaker Ying Liang (2013-2015) and co-founded Cinemovement, a platform to host dance film laboratory together with film producer Jeremy Chua in 2015.
