Shu-yi Chou starts out from the body and communicates with the world through dance and choreography. He focuses on the relationship between human beings and the society. In his past creations and actions, he is capable of capturing the powers of cross-disciplinary collaboration to address the publicness of arts. His creations focus on the value of life and reflect the state of individuals or collectives in different social contexts. Through his creations, Shu-yi Chou makes propositions of a “body vocabulary that is specifically Asian” in the forms of theatre, non-traditional theatre and dance video. He continues to create as he travels different sites and places. In 2020, he was invited as the Weiwuying’s first artist in residence and Curator of Taiwan Dance platform 2022-2024, he has been living in the south of Taiwan ever since.
