Juolin Lee

Born in Changhua, Taiwan, Juolin Lee relocated to Langley, BC at age 13. Currently she is in her fourth and final year at Modus Operandi Vancouver Contemporary Dance program, under the direction of Tiffany Tregarthen, David Raymond and Kate Franklin. Through M.O. Juolin has worked with Shay Kuebler, Vanessa Goodman, Paras Terezakis, and Company 605, amongst others. Juolin feels grateful to live and play on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. As a dancer she is fortunate to collaborate with and perform in work by Zahra Shahab, Emmalena Fredriksson and Arash Khakpour. Juolin is excited by the potential of dance as a tool to continuously unpack her idea of self, and to shine a light on what is hidden in the subconscious. She is on a quest to further deepen her understanding of her Taiwanese heritage, in part by reclaiming her Chinese Folk Dance background, and applying the coexistence of force, beauty and precision within the form to her contemporary movement practice.
