Jasmine Fan — About

Jasmine Fan (樊怡君) is a Taiwanese choreographer, curator and producer based in Hamburg and Paris. She was born in Taipei and studied dance and film at the National Taiwan University of Arts, then moved to Germany for an MA in Film at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts (HFBK).

Choreographer

Jasmine Fan makes stage works and dance films, and pieces for spaces that aren’t theatres: industrial halls, galleries, foundations. Some of them use sensors and live cameras. COLOR 色 (2023) was an interactive performance with millimetre-wave radar sensors.

Her current project is Touch Movement 空流, for dance, live sound, sensor-based visuals and installation. She developed it in 2025 during a dépARTS residency at the Fondation Fiminco in Romainville, supported by the Claussen-Simon-Stiftung. In 2026 she showed it at CN D’s 1 km de danse in Pantin, and as a sortie de résidence at Studios Blanca Li in Paris.

Her earlier pieces OHNEZWEI 無二 (2018), MUDRA (2020) and BARDO (2021) played at LICHTHOF Theater and Kraftwerk Bille in Hamburg, at Alps Move Festival in South Tyrol and at Acker Stadt Palast in Berlin. In 2026 the Tanzrauschen festival invited her to perform at Galerie N46 in Wuppertal.

Producer

Jasmine Fan produces her own work, and from 2018 to 2024 she ran the production of TANZAHOi International Festival for Dance in Hamburg, a festival she founded. Most of that job is money and planning: she writes the applications to public funds, foundations and sponsors, then finds the venue, the technical crew and a schedule everyone can agree on. For COLOR she led Art Power, an engineering team in Taiwan, across two time zones. She also takes on production management, touring and funding applications for other choreographers and companies.

Curator

Jasmine Fan curated five editions of TANZAHOi as its artistic director. The festival began as a series of dance workshops and became an international festival for dance film and digital dance. She chose the artists, built the programmes and set up the Bottle Post exchanges with Taipei and Thessaloniki.

In 2022 she was a curatorial resident at CN D × Cité internationale des arts in Paris. The same year she sat on the jury of tanz:digital at Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.
