Since 1991, dancer-choreographer Oxana Chi has been commissioning musicians to compose and develop works for her stage productions.
As the Artistic Director of Ensemble Xinren, Oxana Chi collaborates in close-knit partnership with musicians who often perform with her live on stage. What deeply matters to Oxana, is to present a highly innovative music that is a protagonist of its own, and contributes to the atmospheres and storytelling shaped by the dance. What she enjoys most, is to set up extraordinary combinations of instruments and to bring together performers of various musical styles such as traditional Korean gayageum with German experimental e-guitar, or a Caribbean didgeridoo player with a Jewish saxophonist.
