Kyuja Bae is interdisciplinary artist based in Norway originally from South Korea. She works in the fields of art such as choreography, dance, performance art, theater, writing and installation. She has a holistic approach to dance, seeing dance as a way of living and learning the deeper values/meanings of life. Dance as a poetic creative sacred ritual of life itself. She sees dance as a path for holistic practice, cultivating insight, wisdom and compassion for well-being. Dance for her is a practice for self and collective healing and learning how to create space within us and around for inter-being, interrelatedness and individual and collective well-beingness.

Her recent artistic research concerns Meditative Body, combining movements with meditation and mindfulness to have a deeper understanding about the flow of energy in us and around us. Her Meditative Body practice and research focuses on how to respond more authentically to the different forces that rise simultaneously internally and externally through the poetic gaze of the awareness. Through the Meditative Body practice and research, she is developing a choreographic and philosophical method called Contemplative Scores. The method of Contemplative Scores is based on the idea that dance already exists everywhere, at every moment. The choreography by the method of Contemplative Scores provides you with the means to find the dance (movement) in daily life and attempt to frame through what I call the gaze of poetic awareness. She practices various holistic and spiritual dances and practices such as Butoh dance, Salpuri dance, Contact Improvisation(CI), Zen practice, Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness and Energy Reading & Healing and more. She holds a Master's degree in choreography at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo). She also studied theater/acting/stageart/creative writing in various institutions such as Nordic Black Express in Oslo and Norwegian Theater Academy in Østfold University-Collage in Fredrikstad and Korean National University of Arts in Seoul, Korea.
