Direction, Concept, & Choreographer

Jodie/YingChu is an independent interdisciplinary dance artist from Taiwan having been based in London & Berlin working nomadically as a creator, dancer, maker/choreographer, performer, collaborator, facilitator/teacher, researcher, & healer (Reiki Master Teacher). Creating is the core spirit of her practice, with the emphasis of kinaesthetic experiences along the process of encountering, connecting & crafting. With her clairvoyant & sensitivity in senses, very naturally she delves into sensations & perceptions in the field of phenomenology & the body-mind relationship by weaving the thinking-body through dancing, moving & embodying.

She has created Soul FLOWing Dance with her MA Creative Practice (Dance Professional Practice) awarding by Independent Dance, Siobhan Davies Dance & Trinity Laban in London. Her own solo choreography ϕ (phi) has been invited to perform & tour at SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin, 4bid gallery at OT301 in Amsterdam, Kunst Dialogue in Amsterdam & Online Performing Arts Festival.

Being part of artistic community & family, by contributing & dedicating, by giving & receiving, she very much enjoys the warm support & inspiration by collaborating with other artists in projects. This is what she values the most along her dance art career and also the insights from her interdisciplinary art residency experiences.

She is honored to be a rewarding recipient of danceWEB 2019 by ImPulsTanz in Vienna, Austria, a rewarding recipient of International Choreographers Residency (ICR) at American Dance Festival 2023 in Durham, North Carolina, US, supported and co-funded by Ministry of Culture Taiwan, and a rewarding recipient of Tanzrecherche NRW 2024 by NRW Kultur Sekretariat in Wuppertal, Germany.
