Siyuan Meng
(1998)
Siyuan Meng is a London- and China-based dance filmmaker and choreographer working at the intersection of screendance, ritual, movement, and somatic healing. Rooted in East Asian philosophy and shaped by a global nomadic experience, her practice explores embodied memory, diasporic identity, and sensory intimacy.
Through film, site-specific performance, and interdisciplinary installation, she creates poetic frameworks that evoke stillness, relational presence, and subtle transformation. Recent works such as Balcony Whispers, Undone, and Eye to Eye, Space in the Space investigate fragile materials—paper, salt, glass, water—as collaborators, shaping thresholds between body, architecture, and audience.
At the heart of her work is the pursuit of shared presence: a relational field where performer, audience, and site co-regulate each other, dissolving boundaries between private and public, self and other. Guided by the aesthetics of slowness and care, Meng approaches movement as a language of attention—one that honors ritual, holds complexity, and invites collective reflection.
Her work emerges from a commitment to intercultural connection and the body as archive, crafting moving images and shared spaces that restore belonging in a fragmented world.
