Rainy J. is a London-based dance writer and choreographer with a foundation in ballet training and further experience in contemporary dance practice at Rambert School. With an academic background in dance, performance, and choreographic practice, she writes from within the language of the body, bringing together technical understanding, artistic sensitivity, and critical reflection.

​

Her writing is shaped by her experience as a dance artist, bringing close attention to movement, structure, emotional presence, and the embodied experience of performance.

 

Rainy J.’s criticism moves between ballet, contemporary dance, interdisciplinary performance, and Chinese cultural expression in contemporary theatre. She approaches dance as a living exchange between body, space, rhythm, image, and memory.

 

Her reviews have been published by Theatre & Tonic, seeing dance, London Pub Theatre and dance magazine.
