His novel approach to choreography has driven him to create innovative pieces that extend beyond conventional stages. Notably, his portfolio includes site-specific performances at Dock 65 within the Esplanade Park, as well as a well-received online production titled "Survei:ance," fully conceived and executed on Zoom, and subsequently streamed via Facebook Live. His choreographic creations have been featured in prominent local arts festivals, such as the M1 Contact Festival and the SMU Arts Festival, as well as international dance festivals, including the Sibu International Dance Festival, Dance Circus, and the Blossom Arts Festival. Sources like The Straits Times and Arts Equator, have described his works as "compelling" and "immersive." In 2019, he collaborated with long-time partner Chua Chiok Woon to produce a duet that premiered in Singapore, and was invited to perform in arts festivals in Hong Kong, Macau and Indonesia.

His teaching emphasises listening as a technical and creative tool, encouraging dancers to refine clarity while staying responsive to sensation, space, and group dynamics.

Yu Yen-Fang
Contact Improvisation Intensive 2025, Artist-Facilitator
An independent Taiwanese dance artist working across creation, performance, teaching, and curation. Her practice, rooted in Taiwan, engages contemporary social issues through embodied inquiry. Using the body as a medium, she transforms personal stories and local histories into accessible artistic language, fostering spaces for public dialogue and reflection. Since the age of 19, she has explored American postmodern dance and Contact Improvisation, beginning her artistic journey with Ku & Dancers. During her time in the U.S., she was deeply influenced by choreographer Bebe Miller and Contact Improvisation pioneer Nancy Stark Smith, foundations that continue to shape her artistic and philosophical approach. In 2013, she launched the interdisciplinary “Mou-Mou Project”, building long-term collaborative teams to merge movement and theatrical language in exploring political and cultural themes. In 2017, she co-founded the “Muo-Muo Workshop”, using improvisation and CI-based teaching as a tool for social dialogue and collective transformation. Since then, the workshop’s annual “Underscore” gatherings—ranging from short intensives to long-format sessions—have reached thousands across Taiwan. Committed to “all-stage” pedagogy, her approach welcomes both seasoned artists and curious newcomers into the shared practice of improvisational dance, where inquiry and play unfold side by side. Most recently, she was the curator of i-Dance Taiwan 2025. https://yuyenfang.com/about/
