Chung Ji Hye is a performing artist who works through choreography and performance, collaborating with creators from different fields in Korea and Europe. She is interested in the paradoxes that appear when opposite ideas meet and cross, and she explores these through movement. Her work also looks at the social effects that appear when actions build up and create movement in the body. Recently, she has been imagining dance as a way to think about the future of the body.

 

She has been selected as a resident choreographer at The Place in London (2023), Centro per La Scena Contemporanea in Italy (2019, 2022), and the Seoul Dance Center (2020). She choreographed and performed Untitled (2018), a co-production of Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona and the Fira Mediterrània festival in Spain. Recently, she has combined dance with artificial intelligence, creating commissioned works such as Nondance Dance-Lecture Performance (2025), Nondance Dance (2022) for the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company (KNCDC), and Nondance Dance 2 (2024) for the Daejeon Museum of Art.

 

Her major choreographic works include Echoing Dance (2025), Moving As Prosthetics: Machine, Affordance, and Care (2025), Nondance Dance 2 (2024), SHINSEGAE (2024), The Skills of Dust (2023), Nondance Dance (2022), who’s living in the Forest (2021), A.D. 0000 (2021), Positioning Game ver.21 (2021), Open Letter (2020), and Air Becomes an Ear, an Ear Becomes an Eye (2020).
