Faye Tan is a Singaporean dance artist based in the UK.

​

She has a decade of experience working as a full-time dancer with repertoire dance companies National Dance Company Wales (UK) and Frontier Danceland (Singapore). Since graduating from Rambert School and VERVE, she has worked with over thirty choreographers from all over the world as a performer and collaborator in new creations and restaged works.

​

She has performed in the works of: Melanie Lane, Shahar Binyamini, Marcos Morau, Fearghus O'Conchuir, Matthew William Robinson, Nigel Charnock, Richard Chappell, Anton Lachky, Edouard Hue, Sarah Golding & Yukiko Masui, Thomas Lebrun, Tung I-Fen, Lea Anderson, Caroline Finn, Andrea Costanzo Martini, Fernando Melo, Alexandra Waierstall, Osian Meilir, John William Watson, amongst others.

​

Her movement and choreographic practices are intertwined, nourished by experiences with international contemporary choreographers and explorations of different dance styles, cultures, methods and techniques such as ballet, house, hip hop, popping, locking, acrobatics and rollerskating. Her choreographic work explores complexities of human emotion and are often odes to experiences of the cathartic and sublime. In her artistic practice she delicately navigates departures from the wealth-driven, materialistic, consumerist, patriarchial, heteronormative, mononormative, post-colonial, state-led capitalism of her upbringing.

​

She has choreographed for National Dance Company Wales, VERVE (UK), Frontier Danceland (Singapore), the Centre for Advanced Training (UK), Rambert School (UK), House of Tengri (UK), musician Dirk Stromberg, and School of The Arts Singapore.​
