XY MOTION
XY Motion is a collaborative dance project based in New York City. Under the direction of Hyung Ji (Heidi) Yu and Xiang Xu, the project is noteworthy for combining different Asian philosophical concepts with bodily motions inspired by nature. Not only does XY Motion explore the creation and performance of a new aesthetic balance between East and West, but it also combines the internal world between male and female based on different cultural inferences. As a multicultural dance collaboration, XY Motion strives to discover inherent body languages based on social relationships and how these intangible movements play a role betweenhumans and the universe.
XY Motion promotes and enhances the value of contemporary dance internationally, while creating a bridge for artists to exchange and share experiences, as well as an opportunity to bring the audience closer to the diverse expressions of contemporary dance. In 2017, XY Motion finished it’s first major contemporary dance piece and was premiered in New York City. In the future, we plan to collaborate with different artists and bring a new concept of contemporary dance to our audience.
