Jiayi Ding


Jiayi Ding is a performance designer specialising in set and costume design.  She is passionate about contemporary performance and scenography, with a focus on creating concise and conceptual designs that capture the essence of a narrative, evoke deep emotions behind the content, and create a connection between the audience and the work through visual and sensory means. Jiayi is interested in the dynamic interplay of spatial elements to develop a poetic modern visual language that resonates with contemporary aesthetics and transforms space into art. She is keen to continue to expand the possibilities of performance as a fluid and dynamic art form, particularly in the context of contemporary dance.

​

Jiayi Ding is trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama for BA (Hons) in Design for Performance.
