While carrying the influence of philosophies and ideologies of butoh, Buddhism, and the Western post-modern dance in which I have been immersed, my dance practice questions a sense of self and searches for a way of liberating us from a socially pre-conditioned and pre-defined self. 

I am interested in observing, exploring, and re-activating mysteries, invisible things, or very subtle phenomena that often get overlooked in our rigidly defined contemporary world. I also highly value a role of playfulness, empathy, and imagination to maximize our ability of transformation. I believe they offer us a break-through energy with viewpoints and innovation, even in a difficult and seemingly impossible situation that requires rigorous thinking.

I believe that dance has the power to allow the voices of our late ancestors, future species, all living things, the deceased, nature, and even man-made objects be heard through our bodies in imaginative, radical, and experiential ways. I am committed to life as a dance artist because this is my way of fighting with our tendencies to define and understand the world through labels and strict points of view that ostensibly and forcefully separates “you” and “I”, or “she” and “he”. And this is my way of contributing to make our world a more fertile and thoughtful place.
