Being part of the pioneer batch at School of the Arts Singapore and danced with T.H.E.

Whilst in the UK, she has worked with choreographers and companies such as Victor Quijada (RUBBERBAND), Punchdrunk, Dane Hurst and Joseph Toonga (Just Us Dance Theatre).

Being based in Australia now, she has worked with Sydney Dance Company (sharing Hofesh Shechter Company repertoire with the Pre-Professional Year), STRUT Dance, Co3 Australia, Marrugeku, Mitch Harvey Company, James Vu Anh Pham, Brooke Leeder and WAAPA. She is currently a mentor for a dance project funded by the Propel Youth Arts WA and choreographing a work in the upcoming Fremantle Biennale 2021. Other than her love for movement, Zee writes in her spare time shedding light on consciousness, culture and empowering brown voices of women especially within Southeast Asia.
