Lee Ren Xin

Lee Ren Xin is a dance artist interested in how the body carries, reflects, embodies, and co-creates with place and time. An overarching theme in Ren Xin’s work is how to share a space, or how (we want) to live together. Her works explore ways of inhabiting, as well as the spaces inhabited – how one shapes the other, momentarily or slowly over a long time. At other times, she works with ritual and repetition in public space.

Past works include ANGGOTA, #WhoseNeighborhoodProject, the Where’s The Speficifisfety series (in collaboration with Lee Mun Wai), and the B.E.D. (Because Everybody Dreams) series. Ren Xin has been awarded ‘Best Choreographer in a Feature Length Work’ and ‘Best Group Performance’ (alongside Tan Bee Hung) at the 2023 BOH Cameronian Arts Awards for ANGGOTA, and she was ‘Best Featured Performer’ at the 2019 BOH Cameronian Arts Awards for her performance in Soubi Sha’s Dead Bird. She has also received support from the Saison Foundation for her research project ‘Body and Borders’ (2020), in exchange with director and playwright Kaori Nishio. Ren Xin graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore and Purchase College, State University of New York, USA. She trained with The Human Expression Dance Company and LeeSaar The Company, and performed with the DPAC Dance Company. She is a member of Five Arts Centre.
