Hi, I’m Cheng-Yang, a dancer who started to dance at age 17.
Here’s a longer, more official-sounding version.
About me
I’m Cheng-Yang, from Taiwan, born in 1999. I’m a dancer and a choreographer. Currently, I am studying at Folkwang University of Arts.
In 2017, I started dancing.
Before I started dancing I was studying in U-Theatre Performing Arts Class from 2016 - 2018.
Besides school, I have learned Martial Arts and Tai Chi from Yung- Shun, Wang, one of the most important mentors. I’m influenced by him to dive into studying dance. Tai-Chi is my favorite moving style. It brings me inner calmness and teaches me the piece in the midst storm is power.
In 2018, I started studying dance at Folkwang University. I felt that my dance career has just started. I participated a choreography from Heidi Weiss “Lediglich Schwingung ” in 2019 Exerzizium .
In 2020 I created a duet called " One Plus One Equals One “ in 2020 Junge Choreograph*innen. I also made a dance video “QuarantineCreation” during Corona lockdown with 15 people, which was published on Folkwang's official website.
In the summer of 2020, I organized a workshop "6 Soul 6 Dream “ in Taiwan, collaborated with students from five different dance schools across Europe. For example, Rambert, SEAD, Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Rosella Hightower, and Folkwang University of Arts.
