Artistic Statement
I firmly believe that the life of art and the art of life are one. Artistic practice and research are inseparable, as both are driven by inquiries into humanity and probing how we, interconnected with everyone and everything, shape the world with its gifts and traumas from history.

Tisch Dance: A Goodbye Performance
May 12, 2022
Jack Crystal Theater, 111 2nd Ave, New York.This piece marked the culmination of my MFA journey at Tisch and was the final dance for me, Chiemi, and Morgan at Tisch Dance. Created as a response to the 2011 Re:Rosas! project, it was built around the second section, “Come Out,” from Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s iconic 1982 work, Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich. Through this piece, we paid tribute to the choreographer we all deeply admire and who, as a Tisch alumna herself, holds a special place in the legacy of Tisch Dance.

The work reflects on our first impressions of each other three years prior, and the moments, trust, and shared understanding we built over time. It brought back memories of the assignments we rushed to complete together and the classes we vented about side by side. My gratitude for this camaraderie—was woven into the playfulness and humor of the choreography, turning our final dance into a heartfelt thank-you and a joyful celebration of our time together.

这是我在Tisch的MFA毕业专场的最后一个作品，也是我，Chiemi，和Morgan在Tisch Dance的最后一支舞蹈。这支final dance回应了2011年Re:Rosas!项目的邀请，以Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker 创作于1982年的作品《Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich》中的第二部分“Come Out”为主体架构，向这位我们三个共同喜爱的choreographer，同时也是Tisch Dance的“学姐”前辈致敬。在这个作品中，我们回顾了对三年前彼此相识的初印象，以及三年中日常相处的点滴和建立起的了解与信任，一起赶过的作业，一起吐槽过的课程。我把对这份“革命情谊”最庄重的感激融在了作品的嬉笑打闹中。
