Founded in Guangzhou in 2018, the Mistakable Symbiotic Dance Troupe (MSDT) is an inclusive dance collective bringing together disabled and non-disabled performers through symbiotic dance practice.

 

Developed from DanceAbility and related improvisational methodologies, the collective explores collaborative movement-making across different bodies, abilities, and lived experiences through performance, workshops, and community-based artistic practice.

In 2025, Gene participated in the British Council and Unlimited 2×2 China–UK Disabled Artists Residency Programme, collaborating with disabled artists from China and the UK through a six-month research and exchange process.

 

The residency led to the development of 《A Common Thread》, a residency sharing exploring connection, tension, and collective movement-making through thread-based rehearsal structures and inclusive dance practice.

The Romain Rolland Project is an ongoing artistic research initiative exploring how disability-related lived experiences can inform choreographic thinking and movement practice.

 

The project develops “constraint as method” through the study of body, structure, space, and daily life, transforming disability experience into artistic language and embodied research.
