Seow Ying Shan Joanne

Joanne started her dance journey at the Royal Academy of Dance ballet programme at the early age of five. At 16, she discovered her interest in contemporary dance, fascinated by the endless possibilities in body movements. While furthering her dance studies at LASALLE College of the Arts, she expanded her repertoire to include genres such as jazz and street dance. During her training at LASALLE, she worked with several local and international artists such as Rachel Lopez de la Nieta (UK), Leah Morrison (UK), Ery Mefri (Indonesia), Eisa Jocson (Philippines), Susan Sentler (UK/Singapore) and Jenny Neo (Singapore), as well as collaborated across disciplines such as fine arts, fashion, film and animation, which widened her perspectives of dance. She is interested in dance creation as well as movement research and would love to dig deeper into challenging the boundaries of the human body.
