Natalie Tin Yin Gan
Natalie Tin Yin Gan (顏婷妍) is an independent dancer, choreographer, and performer working on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples. Natalie went on to complete a double degree in Contemporary Dance and International Studies from Simon Fraser University. Natalie’s research squats at the intersections of food, feminisms, race, voice, and body. She has shared work in Seattle, Vietnam, Malaysia, and across Canada. Natalie is the Co-Artistic Director of interdisciplinary company Hong Kong Exile (hongkongexile.com), where she explores the historical and contemporary politic around the state of Chinese-ness from a diasporic perspective. Her practice is profoundly influenced by mentor and choreographer Lee Su-Feh (battery opera performance) who instigated her dedication to Fitzmaurice Voicework. Natalie is also the Youth Program Coordinator at PuSh International Performing Arts Festival. Natalie is a late sleeper, a late riser, a late bloomer, a latecomer, and a late-night snacker.
