Sunhi Willa Keller

Sunhi was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, surrounded by two wonderful parents, a brilliant big sister, and many, many feisty dogs. After graduating Punahou School with a love of humanities, art, and dance, she traveled to New York City to further her dance education. She graduated from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a BA in Art History (2021) and the following year, she moved to London, UK, to earn her MA in Dance Practice from London Contemporary Dance School (2022). Her work has been performed at the West 28th St Theater (2023), Dixon Place (2023), The Place Theatre (2024), 14 Street Y (2024), and Arts on Site (2024). She received the Eryc Taylor New Choreographer Grant (2024) and an Emergency Grant from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts for her performance at Arts on Site in July 2024. As an emerging choreographer, she uses humor, curiosity, and her perspective as a part-Korean woman to broaden the contemporary dance canon.
