Hanna (Tzong-Han) Wu is a Taiwanese choreographer, dancer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. Raised in Taichung city, Taiwan, Hanna was nurtured in Eastern cultural background and the 1980’s-2000’s hip hop technique training in her childhood, further influenced by western contemporary techniques, Tai Chi, and the Hollywood industry street dance training later on in LA. Hanna was drawn to the infinite possibility of genre & cultural fusions when it comes to dancing and all art-making. The dance language that lies between western contemporary, hip hop, Eastern folk dances, and  martial arts punctuates her signature style, and as a creator, Hanna is most interested in creating works to reflect on phenomena that occur around humanity and human interactions, using the bi-lingualness and multi-culturalness in her dance language. She believes that arts are the definitions of a society’s reflection, and aims to continue to expand her vision and knowledge on the intertwinement between arts, culture, society, human and self.

Hanna Wu was honored to present her work Prosecutor On That Finger in Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, REDCAT STUDIO series 2020, Imposter Syndrome and Cotton Candy in Sharon Disney Lund Theater at CalArts, Hedgehog’s Dilemma, Not Van Gogh’s Fault and more in Center of the Arts at Marsee Auditorium.

During the pandemic, Hanna began making films. Her film Before the Sentence: The Film was selected as an official section and finalist film at Inspired Dance Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, and semi-finalist film at DANCE CAMERA PANDEMANIA/ DANCE CAMERA ISTANBUL in Turkey.
