Haiqing Liang (she/her) is a theatre director born in China, raised in Singapore, and trained in the UK. 

​

She works across contemporary plays, devised theatre, adaptation, and new writing, crafting instinct-led pieces that explore the undercurrents of human experience: what we hide, what we yearn for, and why we choose what we choose. 

​

Haiqing describes her style as 'brutal fluffiness'—where tenderness carries teeth, and pain is delivered with a gentle hand. Her work is often disarmingly sincere, visually visceral, sensorially overwhelming, choreo-poetic, and thought-provoking. She is drawn to scenography with dramaturgical weight—design components that can be activated, reinterpreted, and transformed throughout performance.

​

In the room, Haiqing adopts a games-driven, consent-based rehearsal process to create a safe and bold environment where all collaborators feel empowered to take creative risks. Her approach is deeply collaborative; she doesn’t direct at people, but with them.

​

Alongside directing and dramaturgy, Haiqing is also a committed producer and workshop facilitator for youth and community-based theatre. She believes theatre is not just an art form but a way of thinking—and, as such, should be inclusive and accessible to all.
