Poh Hian

Drawn to experiences that provoke sensibilities of the human body, mind, and spirit, Poh is a lover of improvisation. She believes in expressing herself through artful mediums and creating safe spaces for meaningful exchanges. 

 

Previously a teaching faculty at School of the Arts (SOTA), Singapore, Poh graduated from London Contemporary Dance School and is the recipient of the Singapore National Arts Council Scholarship (Overseas) and Peggy Hawkins Scholarship Fund Award. In her time as dance artist with The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company, she has toured and performed at both local and international venues across Europe and Asia, collaborating across disciplines at festivals such as the City of London Festival, Beijing Dance Festival, and Yokohoma Dance Collection.

 

Drawing from her experiences under the guidance of artists Shahar Binyamini, Chisato Ohno, Rick Nodine, Iratxe Ansa, Kim Jae Duk & Kuik Swee Boon, Poh hopes to move the bodies, hearts, and minds of her community, empowering each other to live, laugh and love a little more each day.
