STYLE + EXPERTISE
Jun's style of movement is heavily influenced by Capoeira, Breaking and his training in Pilobolus Dance Theater techniques. This has resulted in his own form of fluid athletic modern dance. This form combines lifting, sharing axis and balance to create fluid and sculptural movements and showcases the human form as a delicate, yet sometimes explosive organism. To create material, Jun uses a collaborative process to mine the kinesthetic and emotional potential that each individual innately brings with them. Jun also specializes in building character development through movement.
