Jee-Ae Lim (she/her) is a dancer and choreographer based in Berlin, originally from South Korea, who studied Korean dance in Seoul and completed her MA in Solo/Dance/Authorship at the HZT/UdK Berlin. Jee-Ae Lim has developed a distinct choreographic practice straddling the two languages of contemporary and traditional dance. Her artistic interest lies in observing the body as a repository of cultural experiences and memories that span tradition and contemporaneity, individual memory and cultural remembrance, mobility and home. Her work derives from her personal experience of diaspora, which she reflects corporeally in dance. Jee-Ae Lim was awarded the Pina Bausch Fellowship for 2024 and named as a promising talent by tanz Magazine in Germany in 2014.
Jee-Ae Lim’s choreography has been performed at Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Sophiensæle in Berlin, K3 Center for Choreography in Hamburg, Dansehallerne in Copenhagen, Tokyo Metropolitan Theater, Korea National Contemporary Dance Company, among others.
