Body Voice Land: a 5-day workshop by Lee Ren Xin

Participants are invited to attune to their body as a part of the land - shaped by personal, ancestral, and place-based histories. Attention will also be given to voice - as what flows and bridges between internal and external spaces. Ren Xin's practice is deeply influenced by dancer/choreographer and Fitzmaurice Voicework teacher Lee Su-Feh.In the first three sessions, participants will be facilitated to attune to their body, voice and senses — to reconsider these as an archive, a carrier of truth, as a mode of processing, as an agent. Working individually and in groups, they will practice listening to others while staying attuned to self, and co-creating by moving from archive to action.In the fourth and fifth sessions, participants will spend some time outdoors to situate the body in relation to the land and city, asking what flows through bodies in these contexts. What is this individual body a part of, and what action wants to come through in the collective here and now?Open to participants with some experience in somatic or voice or movement-based practices.

Great for:- dancers looking to deepen their relationship with the body and explore voice as a way to process and move from what is true in this moment; - folks with experience in physical practices who are interested in researching and creating from their body.

About Lee Ren Xin (she/her)

Ren Xin works as a dancer, choreographer, facilitator. Working with body and voice, Ren Xin's present practice centres on embodiment, collective action, rituals and performance in urban public and common spaces. Her work foregrounds the intuitive, the body's innate wisdom, ancestral and lineage as grounding and flowing sources, spaces (including time) that live on in this body and in this place. Coming from a dance background, she is drawn to bodies in relation to space—how bodies evolve, and co-shape environments over time. She uses voice and vibration to shift the body beyond archiving to taking action and engaging with the world around.

Her practice-based research Re-Public (2024) explores a collective embodiment as a way of rewriting and broadening the codes of public spaces in Kuala Lumpur, rewiring bodies as conscious agents side by side time. Her process aspires toward social movement, engaging questions of how we share space and how we want to live together.

The inquiries and creative sensitivity in this workshop draw from Ren Xin’s practice-based research Jalan Harapan (2018–2020) and Re-Public (2024), award-winning ANGGOTA (2022) and ANGGOTA 2: Re-Member (2023), My Body is a Kampong, and ongoing performance creation The River Never Stopped Flowing (2025–present). Past works include Asing-Asing, the B.E.D. series, City Entertainment, Where’s the Specifisfety (with Lee Mun Wai).
