Bold, soulful, and genre-defying, Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers (KYL/D) is a Philadelphia-based contemporary dance company that brings ancient Eastern wisdom into dialogue with modern movement. Under the direction of Kun-Yang Lin, the company’s work is known for its stunning visuals and spiritual depth —creating dances that The New York Times says “create and inhabit worlds of their own.” Drawing on Lin’s CHI Awareness Practice, KYL/D’s dance artistry is as physically daring as it is emotionally resonant. With a reputation for poetic, soul-stirring performance, KYL/D has captivated audiences across the globe, from Lincoln Center to Jacob’s Pillow, from Germany to Taiwan and beyond.
