Cheng Cheng (she/her) is a contemporary dancer and choreographer originally from China. Having received professional studies in contemporary dance and drama in both China and the UK. Cheng Cheng sees dance as a medium for communication without limitations. She seeks to express raw emotion and passion in her dancing by testing the boundaries of the availability in her body and creative capacity. She explores how dance can define and express multiple identities, searching for a two-way relationship between the movement and the self, shaped by external influences and held within a fluid body. Her choreographic projects frequently investigate cultural intersections, positioning the body as a site where tradition and innovation, individuality and collectivity, converge.
