In his work, Yu Gen focuses on the exploration of non-duality, perceiving the space of dance as an open field of play and the interaction of the human as a visible and tangible projection of existential metaphors.

More than 20 years of tea ceremony practice on the one side and work in Amnesty International's crisis management on the other outline the course in which the flow of contact dance in Yu Gen's life is moving.

Author of the concept and permanent organizer of the Silent Contact Festival.
