BOXUAN 博軒
I was born in China. At the age of 17, I watched a samba performance by Slavik Kryklyvyy and Anna Melnikova that left a lasting impression. Their energetic and graceful dance, along with their flexible movements, sparked the idea that I should dance too.
I pursued this passion by attending Nanchang University(NCU) where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Dance Performance with distinction. As a former representative of my University in the esteemed CBDF and CDSF national Competition for four consecutive years, me and my partner won the Championship including Collegiate, Professional Acadmic B, Rising Star 21.
My time at NCU went beyond just improving my dancing skills. It opened my eyes to the captivating world of dance as a profession. I realized there was so much more I could achieve. The wide range of knowledge I gained there became the foundation for my career as a teacher and choreographer.
In 2021, I moved to London to immerse myself in different cultures and ideas. I joined the London Contemporary Dance School(The PLACE) for postgraduate studies, driven by my interest in improvisation. This led me to explore various art forms beyond dance, such as visual arts, film, and installation art. These explorations became a way for me to understand and express myself, blending physical movement with other creative mediums.
As a newcomer to a new city, I embraced the experiences that came my way, making friends and cherishing memorable moments. I was fortunate to have a camera to capture these moments, adding depth to my journey. Transitioning from being a performer to an observer, I found joy in the unpredictability of life. I delved into the emotions of others, discovering diverse perspectives, while also finding my own place in a rapidly changing society.
