Belinda He is a Singapore-born, San Francisco-based dance artist of Chinese descent who received an MFA in Dance at Sarah Lawrence College under the directorship of Sara Rudner. She utilizes pedagogical and improvisational structures to support her creative processes, which often reflect her deep concern of the weaponization of “fake news” as propaganda, and desire to diversify ways of seeing as an antidote to the violence of erasure. Her physical practices of qigong and the Feldenkrais Method deeply influence her creative work, in the ways she relates to time, space, scale and self. She thrives in collaborative relationships, and enjoys current collaborations with Karla Quintero, Hope Mohr, Heidi Carlsen and Mohammadreza Akrami, which have recently taken her to artist residencies at SARUYA, Fujiyoshida, Japan (2024), The Old Mines, Outukumpu, Finland (2024), The Field Center, Vermont (2024) and Dance Nucleus, Singapore (2023). Belinda continues to be an active performer in the Bay Area and beyond, and considers the totality of all aspects of her life to be her artistic output. She acknowledges with gratitude influential teachers Sara Rudner, Barbara Forbes, Janet Panetta, Sandra Chinn and David Zambrano.
