Miho Ryu is a New York–based dancer, choreographer, and teaching artist, originally from Tokyo, Japan. She has choreographed and performed more than 100 works, including live performances, dance films, music videos, and interdisciplinary installations presented across Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, and the United States. After more than two decades of professional practice in Japan, Miho returned to New York in 2024. Since then, her work has been presented at Future Dance Festival at The 92nd Street Y, Peridance Presents at KnJ Theater, WestFest at Martha Graham Studio Theater, Inter-grant Festival at Arts On Site, RECESS at Chez Bushwick, Crossing Boundaries at Dixon Place, Eco Arts Festival at Governors Island, AOCC at BAX, Chain Theatre, Firehouse Theater (VA), Asia Tri Jogja in Indonesia, among others.

While currently undergoing breast cancer treatment, Miho’s artistic practice has entered a period of profound transformation. Her experience has led her to question long-held assumptions about virtuosity, productivity, and the performing body.

“The festival was such a wonderfully supportive community of artists to perform amongst and a generous audience as well. The performances were inspiring and exceptionally well-run, which I appreciated.”
