文慧 Hui Wen

Born in 1960, Wen Hui studied traditional Chinese dance and choreography at the Beijing Dance Academy. She studied with Trisha Brown, then with Pina Bausch's company in 1995. She founded Living Dance Studio, the first independent dance studio in China, in 1994, with documentary filmmaker Wu Wenguang. Her creations use dance, text, and documentary film (Memory in 2008, Red in 2015) to tell the story of her country through the memory of bodies.
