In 2015 she collaborated with Fang Lu on her video art project ‘Ex Lovers’ and performed her one-to-one performance 'This is Mine. What's Yours? At the English Theatre Berlin and Theaterhaus Berlin Mitte. Wrought-Sheffield (one-to-one performance festival, UK) commissioned her to develop and perform a new cross cultural performance 'I'm not (t)here anymore' which uses Skype video call to connect the UK and Germany. The performance was shown as part of the festival in April 2016 in both Berlin and Sheffield.
In September 2016 she was invited to perform 'This is Mine. What's Yours?' at the Pori Theatre Festival in Finland.
