Honji Wang

Wang’s dance language is an abstraction of hip hop dance and has influences of earlier martial arts and ballet  training. She is recognised as an artist who brings contemporary and hip  hop together in an exceptionally organic fashion.

Together with Sébastien Ramirez, Honji Wang received the Bessie Award 2013 as “Outstanding Performer” following the presentation of AP15 at the Apollo Theatre in New York. Their work Monchichi was also one of the 2017 Bessie Award nominees for “Outstanding Production” following its performance at BAM Fisher.

Wang was invited to Madonna’s final auditions in New York, where her outstanding performance earned her an invitation to  tour and perform for the Rebel Heart Tour.
In 2016, Wang and Ramirez received a comission from Sadler’s Wells to direct and perform a dance work made to Nitin Sawhney’s album Dystopian Dream.
Wang was invited as a guest artist to perform a duo with acclaimed British choreographer Akram Khan titled The Pursuit of Now, which was accompanied by well-known pianist Shahin Novrasli.
She also collaborated with the most avant-garde female flamenco dancer Rocío Molina in the duet Felahikum, as well as with New York City Ballet principal dancer Sara Mearns in the duet NO.1.
