Artists
Artists are at the core of our work at Hi-ARTS. What unites this diverse group is that they share similar aesthetics and ideas about the transformative power of art and the importance of community. Our goal is to continuously nurture this spirit at Hi-ARTS. From a creative and artistic perspective, our artists have made Hi-ARTS the organization that it is. Below is a sample list of artists we have recently worked with.

Yang Sun & Poets
SKY LAB Artist Yang Sun (she/her) is an award-winning dancer, choreographer, and director, working in the intersection of movement, color, and poetry. Her strong bond with movements started with improvisation practices in the field, cafeteria, corridor, riverbank, and other non-traditional spaces.
Sitting at the intersection of dance and installation, The Stranger spans generations of immigrants and resident aliens in the United States. Capturing their stories and those of the lead artist, the work employs the use of dozens of common polyester woven storage bags as a metaphor for the immigrant experience. Alongside her company collaborators, she will engage with five non-dance immigrant community members to join her in the development and presentation of the work.
