Dapheny Chen

Dapheny Chen Is an independent dance artist who negotiates between the roles of a choreographer, performer, educator, and manager. She is concerned about the provocations, connections and criticality that arise from making and viewing dance. Breaking away from her conventional dance training, she examines socio-political ideologies to navigate the possibilities of contemporary dance, while seeking to create alternative nodes of experience and entry points as conversations for change and knowledge. Her practice embraces the multiple facets of choreography and dance that change with time and state. While
acknowledging the agile and transient nature of processes involved in creation, she breaks down previous definitions of the form to reform new experiences. Dapheny graduated from Lasalle College of the Arts. She has since danced with Ah Hock and Peng Yu (2004), L.A. Dance Connection (2003-2008), Frontier Danceland (2010-2011) and Re:Dance Theatre (2012-2015). She is trained in contemporary dance, ballet, jazz, hop hop and salsa. Her works have been presented at Esplanade dans Festival, Huayi Chinese Festival of Arts, NUS Exon-Mobil Campus Concert, Prisma Festival Panama, WDA Asia Pacific Seoul, VECTOR. She is an MA Arts and Cultural Leadership candidate at Lasalle College of the arts.
