Yanghee Lee (lives and works in New York and Seoul)

Yanghee Lee is an interdisciplinary artist working with performing art, installation and text.  After years of studying traditional Korean dance, Lee began her own choreographic career by questioning the concept of “choreography” as a limited medium in need of a modern update within traditional dance forms. 

With a strong focus on the exploration of the structural analysis on elements and characteristics of theater and on the phenomenological relationship shaped within the system of contemporary art, Lee experiments with the meaning and possibilities of choreography, expanding its subjects and scope beyond movement in order to encompass the sustained and unflinching investigation of a new, multidimensional view of performing arts.

Her work primarily addresses  the notion of temporality and materiality of performing arts and its potential valuable amplitude in the present.
