Founder of  Yuan Concept Theatre ( YCT )

Independent Choreographer & Dancer

Jiyuan is a young contemporary dance theatre choreographer and crossover independent dancer, who studied at LCC Design Management (MA). 

Collaborating with artists across media and disciplines is the most important way in which Jiyuan creates his work. He uses contemporary dance and the body as a raw creative material and a way of seeing, exploring its connections with the stage, light, fabric, natural objects, urban architecture and industrial products.

Being from a literature department（BA in JINAN University）, he specialises in integrating the poetic and critical nature of literature into the creation of the stage and constructing reflections on the times.
