Our Core Team

Ranice Tay

Ranice Tay is a theatre practitioner and founder of WUSHIREN Theatre, an experimental theatre company exploring embodiment and ontological inquiry. Her work sits at the intersections of Taiji and theatre — a practice of returning, again and again, to the living question of being, through the vessel of the body.

Shaped by a lineage of embodied inquiry, her time as artist-in-residence with U-Theatre (Taiwan) and playing the titular role in The Silly Little Girl and the Funny Old Tree (Young People’s Performing Arts Ensemble) has deepened her search for what is alive in each moment of performance. This pursuit of depth and resonance was expressed in her directorial debut, I Am Finally in Love with the World, a physical theatre project and WUSHIREN Theatre’s inaugural production.

As the lead actress in Amoeba (Akanga Film Asia), she received the Fei Mu Best Actress Award (Pingyao International Film Festival, 2025) and was nominated for Best Performance (Singapore International Film Festival, 2025).

A world medallist in Chen-Style Taijiquan and Taijishan, and a member of the Singapore Traditional Wushu Elite Team, Ranice continues to dedicate herself to the practice of embodiment — rigorously investigating how the body can become a vessel and aspiring to become a technician of the sacred.

Julian Low

Julian co-founded WUSHIREN in order to comprehend the inherent intelligence of the body through theatre, and to reclaim the sense of self that we humans have.

He is also a national athlete with Singapore’s traditional wushu elite team, regularly teaching Taiji and representing the country in international competitions. At present, Julian is completing his Masters in Arts Pedagogy and Practice at the University of the Arts Singapore (UAS). As a former medical student, video-maker and entrepreneur — Julian is deeply inspired by how the practice of the arts cultivates our alignment of the body and mind, deepen our sense of what is truly relevant and enrich the way we live our lives.

As a theatre practitioner, his primary line of inquiry includes: What impedes oneself from expressing fully and freely? How can we propel the individual to live in the now by overcoming predisposed habits? And so what? How can these questions be understood?

  • Beatrice Low

    Beatrice Low is a passionate multidisciplinary artist driven by a deep curiosity about what the arts can reveal about life and the human experience. With a constant desire to learn and explore, she moves fluidly across mediums — from drawing, painting, and pottery to sculpture and spatial design.

    Her artistic journey began at the School of the Arts, Singapore (SOTA), where she developed a strong foundation in visual arts and worked with a wide range of materials and forms. She later pursued Architecture at the University of Nottingham (UK), an experience that offered her a new way of seeing — one rooted in space, structure, and perspective.

    After graduating, Beatrice rediscovered her passion for the arts through set design, creating a piece for Wushiren Theatre’s stage production. This experience sparked her fascination with the movement and presence of performers, leading her to explore new dimensions of artistic expression.

    Today, she continues to collaborate with the Wushiren team, expanding her practice beyond the visual realm to include acting, singing, and dance — discovering, through each medium, new ways of being an artist, and ultimately, a human.
