Jodie/YingChu is an independent interdisciplinary dance artist from Taiwan having been based in London and Berlin working nomadically as a creator, dancer, maker/choreographer, performer, collaborator, facilitator/teacher, researcher, and healer (Reiki Master Teacher). Creating is the core spirit of her practice, with the emphasis of kinaesthetic experiences along the process of encountering, connecting, and crafting. With her clairvoyant and sensitivity in senses, very naturally she delves into sensations and perceptions in the field of phenomenology and the body-mind relationship by weaving the thinking-body through dancing, moving, and embodying. She has created Soul FLOWing Dance with her achievement of MA Creative Practice (Dance Professional Practice) awarding by Independent Dance, Siobhan Davies Dance, and Trinity Laban in London in the UK. Her own solo choreography ϕ (phi) has been invited to perform and tour at SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin, 4bid gallery at OT301 in Amsterdam, Kunst Dialogue in Amsterdam, and Online Performing Arts Festival. Being part of an artistic community and family, by contributing and dedicating, by giving and receiving, she very much enjoys the warm support and inspiration by collaborating with other artists in each other’s 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 at ImPulsTanz, the 9th person with Taiwan nationality since 1996, supported and co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, Ministry of Culture Taiwan, Chinlin Foundation of Culture and Arts. She is also honored to be a rewarding recipient of International Choreographers Residency at American Dance Festival 2023, supported and co-funded by Ministry of Culture Taiwan, Taiwan Academy, and International Culture & Tourism Bureau Miaoli County.
