Jo lives in Wales and her creative work reflects the need in these times for people to come together. Her artistic practice is an evolving, collaborative approach which puts ideas around belonging or forming community in the forefront.

“What I need might be a sensation, connection, vibration, space, higher ceilings, skipping…part of my joy in being alive, or simply being me, is me in my physicality. My dancing is changing every day, the dance has changed, no doubt everyone’s dance has.

"I sense this process is not so much a choreography, but rather, a creative action.
Just a moment,
to be in the moment,
Everyone dances for different reasons, fashions come and go and this particular time has its own difficulties and opportunities. My own study seems to be about finding more moments to be my fullest self, about acceptance, about channeling rage, about taking up space, saying the truth and about returning to a body that has changed. I’m considering how everyone is an artist, how this time needs more experiences that bring us into ourselves and to practice being witnessed in that.” - Jo Fong

“Falle taw beth sydd angen arnai ydi cysylltiad, teimlad, dirgryniad, gofod, tôion uwch, i sgipio…rhan o’n hapusrwydd o fod yn fyw, neu o fod yn fi fy hun ydi fy nghorfforoldeb. Mae fy nawnsio’n newid yn ddyddiol, mae’r ddawns wedi newid, mae’n rhaid bod dawns pawb wedi newid.”

“Rwy'n synhwyro nad yw'r broses hon yn gymaint o goreograffi, ond yn hytrach, yn weithred greadigol.
Dim ond eiliad,
i fod yn y foment,
Mae pawb yn dawnsio am wahanol resymau, mae ffasiynau'n mynd a dod ac mae gan yr amser arbennig hwn ei anawsterau a'i gyfleoedd ei hun. Mae'n ymddangos bod fy astudiaeth fy hun yn ymwneud â chanfod mwy o eiliadau i fod yn fy hunan lawnaf, am dderbyn, sianelu cynddaredd, cymryd lle, dweud y gwir a dychwelyd at gorff sydd wedi newid. Rwy’n ystyried sut mae pawb yn artist, sut y tro hwn mae angen mwy o brofiadau sy’n dod â ni i mewn i ni ein hunain ac i ymarfer cael ein tystio yn hynny.” - Jo Fong
