Lucille Jun

LUCILLE JUN‘s work as an artist is to translate the multitude of histories and lived experiences of the body onto the stage, asking the audience to reevaluate their assumptions. She began her dance career in college, when her path completely changed from aspiring physicist to that of choreographer. Since 2011, she has performed with a traditional Korean dance company, Yeon, in Seoul, South Korea, which led to an interest in creating a fusion of movement stemming from traditional Korean and western contemporary dance along with her research into hip-hop. She also has performed with Some Dance Company at the Busan International Dance Festival and Seoul Fringe Festival and has co-choreographed for 150 dancers with little to no contemporary dance experience for a youth festival in Korea. She has performed in pieces by Shakia “The Key” Johnson, Angie Hauser, Wendy Woodson, Sarah Seder, Bebe Miller, Kristin Hapke, and Candice Salyers. She recently graduated with an MFA in Dance from Smith College.
