ROSHELLE YEE PUI FONG

Roshelle Yee Pui Fong (she/her) is a Hong Kong-born
multidisciplinary artist who loves writing as healing
and intercultural solidarity, and performance text as a
vehicle for digital languages. In 2018, she created the
award-winning immersive show nomnomnom, which
was adapted in East Iceland, Shanghai and Sydney,
and in 2020 she created an online interactive theatre
show Thirsty! (Griffin Theatre, Google Creative Lab).
In 2021, Roshelle co-created the Green Room Awardnominated Poona with Keziah Warner (Next Wave),
and in 2022, she was an artist in Creative Australia’s
Digital Fellowship program, Assistant Director on
Melbourne Theatre Company’s Laurinda and a writer for Cybec Scenes,
while completing her Masters of Theatre (Writing) at Victorian College of
the Arts and sitting on Melbourne Theatre Company’s Artistic Associate
panel (2022–24). Roshelle’s play 红铅 The Red Lead (now 秀女 The Elegant
Women) won the Bruntwood Playwriting Prize International Award 2022, part
of the UK’s largest national playwriting competition. She has since developed
it with Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre, as a guest playwright at the
50th Banff Playwrights Lab in Canada, and at Melbourne Theatre Company.
Roshelle has also been developing new work in Australian Plays Transform’s
Mid-Career Playwrights’ group, and is an advisor for Contemporary Asian
Australian Performance’s (CAAP) Artist Reference Group.
