Hui Chen

Performer Movement Director

Hui Chen is a London-based performer-somatic practitioner-transdisciplinary artist from China.
Since the beginning of their artistic career, movement has always been the core of their practice. They enjoy observing and absorbing the movement of other people and the mysterious nature. They work with people from various disciplines on art projects as well as perform in traditional theatre productions. Their work is delicate and aims to grasp the ephemeral truth in the potent distillation of life through art.
