Currently based in Shanghai, Jinglin is an interdisciplinary choreographer and freelance dancer working actively in fields related to body. Graduated from Beijing Dance Academy Modern/Contemporary Dance, she received her MFA in Choreography with a minor in Integrated Media from California Institute of the Arts in 2019. Inspired by animals’ alertness, her aim is to transform classical/traditional movement to individual body language together with a sense of danger. Using body instinct, impulse and voice to trigger movement is another way she experiments in her practice. Ranging from theater production to site-specific performance and dance film, her work has been performed at L.A.Dance Project, REDCAT Theater, USC McCarthy Quad, Highways Performance Space, Beijing 77 Theater, West Bund Museum, Ming Contemporary Art Museum, Tank Shanghai and 69 Art Campus. As a freelance dancer/performer, she has worked and collaborated with Rosanna Gamson, Julie Bour, Maxine Doyle, Anneliese Charek, Dimitri Chamblas, Conor Doyle and Arseny Zhilyaev.

 

Her current works include, Something About Heads, Shall we?, Skinned, The Melting Fridge, Carving Limbs, Cat’s cradle, Unstable Floor, SEEK.
