Sammy Yip
Ping-Ping is a British born Chinese actress whose acting experience has covered a broad range of dramatic roles for theatre, television and film in London and Asia.
Recent theatre includes: Irene in 'The Dresser' for one of Asia’s leading theatre companies (Singapore Repertory Theatre) which was nominated for 3 awards including 'Best Play' in the Asian Life Theatre Awards. Also, the main supporting role, Mrs Teo (mother), in season 1 of national children’s TV series 'Ubin Boy', Dr Leong in Asian film 'Choices'. She has also performed for the Discovery Channel (Dr Tatiana’s guide to sex and creation, the first televised science-fiction musical), ITV (Night and Day), the BBC and Channel 4.
Acting is an art that she fell in love with at the age of seventeen when she played the leading role in a London theatre adaptation of Cannes film “12 Storeys”. She has maintained this passion ever since, all throughout her schooling and degree (Anthropology and Law at LSE) juggling exams, auditions and drama classes. Since then, she has trained in Stanislavski, classical theatre and TV and Radio Broadcasting.
In her spare time, the Anthropological side comes out of her and she likes to travel and immerse herself in the culture rather than, “Just being a tourist”. A few years back, she stayed with the Masaai tribe (Kenya) and produced and presented a short documentary about them to raise money for a school that her Church had set up there.
