Natanal Hyun Kim

Natanal is a movement-based artist exploring the evolving relationship between body, nature, and time-space. Rooted in the idea of the “human in motion,” his work questions how memory, physicality, and emotion generate connection and transformation. Crossing dance, theater, and installation, he reinterprets historical roots in contemporary ways, using breath, memory, nature, humanity, and the cosmos as metaphors. Through performance, he reveals love, social structures, and cultural identity as lived realities, bringing the resonance of human existence onto the stage. His recent projects expand into immersive performance, site-specific installation, and video choreography, moving beyond the stage to embrace interdisciplinary expression and offering new perspectives on how art relates to society.
