Biography
Though small in stature, Jasmine Yo Shan Chan makes up for it in award-winning passion and drive. She is a Melbourne-based performer originally from Hong Kong. From a young age, she has undergone training for singing, acting and dancing. As a young artist, she has already performed at impressive venues such as the Queen Elizabeth Stadium and Disneyland in Hong Kong.
Jasmine first stepped on stage in 2009 for the “My Hong Kong Dream Concert”. Her screen debut was a Hong Kong McDonald’s breakfast TV commercial in 2015. Her first theatre training was at the age of 14, where she was chosen as a recipient for the Bravo! Program offered by AFTEC Hong Kong. This was a two-year training program, including three-week training with the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre in Taiwan as one of 10 people out of the final 30. This two-year program opened her eyes to the professional world of performing arts, where she received training for classical and physical theatre from Dr Vicky Ooi, Rodney Cottier from LAMDA and Ata Wong as well as instructors from the Cloud Gate Dance School.
Jasmine’s determination to make performing a lifelong career was the moment she was chosen as the school drama captain at Geelong Grammar School in Year 12. Since then she has participated in productions such as “Chicago” (Mona); “Motor-mouth and Suck-face: An Apocalyptic Love Story” (Sarah); “Sense and Sensibility” (Margaret Dashwood); “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (Hermia), and more during her time at Geelong Grammar School. After graduation she went on to work as a show character in Hong Kong Disneyland for almost two years.
