Lin Tuo (architect/producer) uses spatial design to simulate performances in unconventional settings. Thourayya Kreidieh (architect/designer) focuses her research on the interdisciplinarity of spatial & multimedia practices. Lin Ying-chi (choreographer/ dancer) investigates interdisciplinary collaboration in performance. Fengyi Tan (fashion designer) creates garments through body movements and dance. This collective encourages public participation in performance arts culture and promotes creative exchange among art and design practitioners.
