Julia Gu (谷曦) is a New York–based performer originally from mainland China. For her, performance is a form of life practice—a way to explore, reflect, and connect. She draws inspiration from wandering, poetry, music, movement, and spiritual inquiry. One of her favorite creative rituals is disappearing into a crowd to observe the quiet poetry of everyday life.
