PEILING KAO DANCES
Being a movement improvisor has brought my artistic approach many opportunities to collaborate. I am avidly interested in exploring the unknown, generating movement in real time, and responding to people, sound, images, the environment, and media surrounding me. The integration of movement improvisation into my dance practice has expanded my expressive vocabulary, allowed me to surpass the limits of my technical training, and opened a new artistic world to me--a world that includes other artists in different modalities in various ways.
