MARBLES LŪK SHAOLON
Marbles Lūk Shaolon is a visual artist and choreographic thinker working across performance, installation, and moving image. Their practice engages embodied attention as a method — exploring breath, sound, sensation, and duration as compositional tools for examining presence and interior awareness.
Approaching choreography as more than visual form, Shaolon works with memory, movement, drawing, and writing as interconnected modes of inquiry. Their projects often take shape as immersive or durational environments in which live performance, projected image, and material fabrication intersect. The body functions as both medium and archive — a site through which questions of visibility, inheritance, and regulation are examined.
Alongside their artistic practice, Shaolon is a certified craniosacral therapist with additional training in Shiatsu Anma modalities. This somatic foundation informs their sustained engagement with touch, listening, and structural awareness within performance contexts.
Past work has been supported by CHIME (Los Angeles), Puffin Foundation (New York), and Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation (New Jersey). Original choreography and performance projects have been presented at institutions and venues including the 59th Venice Biennale; Getty Villa; REDCAT; Swiss Institute; LACE; Pieter Performance Space; Danspace Project; HERE Arts; Joyce SoHo; TBA Portland; and SFMOMA.
Writing and performance documentation have appeared in Saboteurs (Issue #4: Gender), the Getty’s Iris blog, and Itch Journal (as contributor and co-editor).
