[2026 Taiwan Dance Platform] Body Lab: Focus Asia
Converging at the Taiwan Dance Platform, the vibrant energy of rising talents from Singapore, Japan, Korea, Israel, and Taiwan pushes the limits of imagination. The creativity shines brightly, dazzling the senses with an infinite, and evocative impression.
Program
Taiwan: KUO Chueh-kai Pua̍h-pue-Divination Blocks
The answer given by Pua̍h-pue is a manifestation of the divine will, or merely an expression of personal inner desires connected through religious experience?
Singapore：Syarifuddin SAHARI Kontur²
A solo dance performance. Using hip-based vocabularies as tools to destabilise and interrogate, Kontur² unravels the complications and the complicity of these identities existing together.
Taiwan: LIN Pin-shuo Catch and Throw- Part Two
In throwing and catching, the object moves through acceleration and deceleration until it reaches zero. At that instant, time and space freeze. What comes next—catch, or fall?
Korea：HA Jihye P.R.I.D.E.S.
P.R.I.D.E.S. began from an anagram of a single word. This work is an attempt to revisit and reinterpret the meaning of time that once seemed to have slipped away. It is a journey toward discovering a version of myself that even I did not fully know.
Japan: Moto TAKAHASHI Faintly Here
Faintly Here reimagines Japanese ghost stories through the lens of contemporary dance. Fusing classical ballet and hip-hop, the work distills what kaidan truly carries — sorrow, indescribable sensations that take root in the heart, and the warmth within silence — conjuring emotions and atmosphere that are distinctly Japanese.
Israel: Or MARIN Breathe with Me a Moment
The duet through shared breath into the harmonica a sound of intimacy comes to life. It connects the two bodies and turns them into one musical instrument with two lung spaces and one note that emerges from their bond.

Artists Introduction
Taiwan: KUO Chueh-kai
"Dance is a journey that begins with the body; even when the body fades, the journey does not stop."
Three boys who grew up learning classical dance, martial arts, and horse riding traveled through dance to join top international dance companies and perform on stages around the world. Flying became a daily routine, constantly crossing borders of countries and cultures, pushing the limits of their bodies and spirits. In their late twenties, they chose to fly back to the starting point of their own land and founded "Nonly Body" to share the origins of dance with everyone and explore the joy and possibilities felt through dance.
First comes the body, then comes dance — they run body workshops, leading both amateurs and dancers, children and the elderly, in subtle dialogues with their bodies.
First comes education, then comes promotion— they bring art from mountains to sea and into schools, demonstrating to youth how to appreciate the fearless expression of oneself in dance and how to become partners with their own bodies.
First comes life, then comes creation — after years of walking with dance, they returned to their starting point to reconsider the meaning of dance for themselves, the public, and the times. Responding to creative energy with sincere living, their company's work "Pua̍h-Pue" interprets the repetitions and truth and falsehoods of the human mind in traditional culture through dance. It has won numerous awards and the company has received many invitations to perform this work.
Singapore: Syarifuddin SAHARI
Syarifuddin is a movement artist who started out in street dance at 17, experimenting with movement exploration tools derived from Hip Hop, House, Dancehall and African dance. Along the way he is also trained in contemporary dance basics, Malay traditional folk dance as well as briefly West Coast Swing.
He has since explored other performative and movement forms, while being exposed to various approaches in artmaking. His exploration transcends genres and labels, and focuses on embodiment and transmission.
Syarifuddin's performance experience ranges from site-specific works to theatrical productions and dabbles in both choreography and improvisation. He has performed for independent artists and Singapore-based dance companies/collectives, as part of independent works as well as arts festivals.
He is currently exploring and cultivating the relation between sound and movement; the seen and unseen, experimenting in his practice-in-process called Textures of the Reverb, while also developing his artistic practice centered around liminality.
Taiwan: LIN Pin-shuo
Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, LIN Pin-shuo is a choreographer and dance artist. His work explores the oscillation between physical and psychological states, drawing from physical phenomena to develop a bodily language rooted in kinetic energy and perception. Moving away from a thinking centered approach, he repositions the body within a more primal sensory field, where nature remains a key reference.
His Catch and Throw series has been presented in stages at Cloud Gate's Spring Riot (2024–2025), and theatre phase premiered at Cloud Gate Theater 2026. He has participated in platforms such as the Art Makers Project, Chiayi New Dance Platform, Tainan Arts Festival, and LABX at the National Taichung Theater. Internationally, he has engaged with Camping at Centre national de la danse France, Artist Journey at Freespace Hong Kong, and the Thailand Choreography Symposium etc.
He previously worked as a dancer with Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, Kor’sia, and Isabelle Beernaert Dance Company. In 2024, he left Cloud Gate and was selected for the Wanderer Project, traveling to Nepal—marking the beginning of his independent artistic path.
Korea: HA Jihye
Ha Jihye is a choreographer who places human stories at the center of her artistic practice. She approaches choreography not only as a creator but also as a researcher—closely observing and investigating the microscopic, everyday dimensions of life.
Her work moves fluidly across genres, including Korean traditional dance, contemporary dance, and acrobatics. Through a structural analysis of both physical language and musical composition, she constructs a layered choreographic framework where rhythm and dramaturgy coexist. Rhythmic movement is often placed alongside dramatic staging, allowing the ordinary realities of life to unfold with theatrical intensity.
Ha Jihye’s creations do not seek spectacle alone; rather, they aim for meaningful and sustained dialogue with the audience. By transforming intimate and familiar experiences into embodied narratives, she explores vulnerability, resilience, and the complexity of human existence.
Through dance, she continues her journey toward understanding and expressing the essence of life itself.
The work P.R.I.D.E.S. was initiated through Seoul International Choreography Festival (SICF) and managed by Korea Dance Abroad.
Japan: Moto TAKAHASHI
Choreographer, dancer, and videographer. Dance Base Yokohama "Wings" Creator. Born in Nagano, Japan. Takahashi began studying classical ballet from childhood. After graduating from Japan Women's College of Physical Education, she joined TOKYO ELECTROCK STAIRS in 2011. Since 2013, she has developed works centered around alternative dance that blends the expression and technique she has cultivated over the years. Takahashi places emphasis on the characters' personalities and the relationships between them, creating a distinct style where reality and fiction intersect. Her works aim to evoke a sense of space, intended to linger in the viewers' memory. In 2017, she founded the dance company MWMW. In 2021, she received the Jury Prize and the Kinosaki International Art Center Prize at the Yokohama Dance Collection. In 2024, her company embarked on its first overseas tour, performing in two cities in the United States. She also creates video works, exploring the possibilities of dance through new and multifaceted approaches beyond live performance.
"Wings" is organized by Dance Base Yokohama, operated by the SEGA SAMMY ARTS FOUNDATION, with support from the Japan Creator Support Fund. Faintly Here is a co-production of Aichi Prefectural Art Theater and Dance Base Yokohama.
Israel: Or MARIN

Over the years, her creations had performed in many festivals and venues in Israel and abroad, with works of various sizes: from solo to multicast performances, short and full-length works, screen productions and site-specific projects: RIDCC, Quinzena de Dança de Almada, MASDANZA de Gran Canaria, DOCK11, Tanzmasse NRW, 'INTERPLAY fest', 'Exiter fest' and many more.
