Chantel Foo

Chantel Foo is a Chinese Singaporean artist based in London. Chantel’s practice is anchored in performance, working with movement, writing, Real Game Play, and livestreams. Her work and movement style exists at the sticky tension lines where a body’s histories and undoing gather, to come apart. Her interest in moving choreopolitically is tethered to a background in traditional Chinese dance. She seeks to decolonize their dance/body through negotiating docility and rebellion, reimagining rage and spite as strategies of defiance against oppressive codes and doctrines. Nodes of thought include: slippages, residual presences, selfhood, and glitch spaces. They also founded and run a movement studio, Studio Lotusroot, which is a space for embodied encounters and somatic healing through movement.
