As a Chinese immigrant artist and feminist activist, my work stands at a special intersection: as the marginal whose culture has been excluded from what American society considers mainstream, enabling me to clearly observe and question existing power structures. This unique perspective alternatively allowing me to deeply question the social norms and structures formed through historical and cultural accumulation. "The trouble with the strategy to 'get the law to say gay is the same' is that it promotes equality within the oppressive frame of heteropatriarchy." The problem with this strategy is that it seeks equality within the oppressive framework of heterosexual patriarchy, without questioning the legitimacy of the framework itself.
 

Dance is recognized by the public more as a "performing art," for me, it is a consciousness-building training toward equality movements and self-love/care. In my artistic work, I particularly focus on the generation and transition of movements. When multiple bodies meet, how to they engage, begin, move, support, transition, and give up in space, it's not a formal presentation but rather a concrete expression of power dynamic. These interactions become metaphorical explorations of social relationships.
 

My work is dedicated to dismantling the hierarchy, questioning existing structural dynamics, and building a new ensemble relationship where individuals don't see it as "sacrifice" to achieve with others, but rather building an energy field filled with empathy, diversity, equality, and inclusivity. This space allows each participant to maintain their integrity while establishing genuine connections and dialogue with others (including audiences)

 

My training background spans classical ballet, improvisation, partnering, release technique, contemporary, Chinese classical and folk dance,Humphrey and Indian contemporary dance. These diverse trainings have led me to understand the elasticity of the body and why embodied communication is more profound than verbal. Our bodies are born carrying emotions, weight, confusion, memories, trauma, and intimacy, yet we still choose to present ourselves openly, bare and vulnerably, and there is nothing more admirable than that.
