Profile
Born in 1983, Huang studied dance from childhood and went on to Taipei National University of the Arts. His studio moved to a full-time structure in 2014 so that dancers and technical collaborators could develop productions in stages.
Huang Yi & KUKA dates to 2012 and travelled to Ars Electronica in Linz the next year. The full-length production premiered in New York in 2015. On the TED stage, a shorter duet pairs Huang and the arm with cellist Joshua Roman.
Watch the pause after Huang reaches out, then follow the turn of the mechanical joint. He is credited as a programmer, performer and choreographer again on the 2026 double bill This Life / Voices.
