What does it mean to be alive, right now, in this body, among these people?
On Oct 17-18, Hinoki (@hinoki.dance) takes over Planet X for two nights of immersive dance and sound performance directed by Jenn Chan (@jennchanx) — an up-close reckoning with loss, solitude, and the strange and difficult work of figuring out who you are and where you belong.
Set across 14,000 square feet in East Williamsburg, 11 dancers weave through the audience inside a living sound installation — no stage to stand apart from, only bodies moving through sound together.

Named after the ancient, sacred Japanese cypress, hi-no-ki translates to "tree of the sun" and holds a sacred place in Shinto spirituality, which holds that everything in our world — a tree or rock— houses a divine spirit known as kami. You are invited to move through an immersive sound installation with dancers weaving in and out of the audience as visual artist, Permian Strata illuminates Hinoki's world

Sounds of Hinoki
Saturday night Oct 17, Maude Vôs (@the_sound_sculptress), LA-based DJ, producer, and label head of Delusional Records, joins the line up with sets that swirl airy vocals, metallic textures, and rigid grooves across releases on Yuku, Scuffed Recordings, and Science Cult. Brooklyn's Julie Hill (@iamjuliehill), a singer-producer whose synth-driven and ambient work has drawn praise from Pitchfork, Stereogum, and KEXP, moves between the meditative, memory-and-mindfulness territory of her 2024 album glow serene. Scott Li (@scoyoh) is a celebrated and versatile violinist and collaborator across music, film and dance known for his emotional depth and inventiveness. He was commissioned by Vim Vigor Dance company for a 30 mins site specific dance piece in 2021, and was awarded 1st place in Prix D’Été in 2019 for his seven-movement electroacoustic chamber work memoriae
Oct 18 Sunday lines up Ali Berger (@aliberger.dr5), whose deep improvisational practice moves between the mechanized funk of Midwest house and gently freaked rhythms built on drum machines and grooveboxes.
Suzie Sanford and Matthew Tineo are two rising stars from NYU Steinhardt. Suzie is a producer and member of 3rd Ave, a collective championing underground rap, hyperpop music and spent the past four years tearing through stages in NYC and Prague. Whilst playing solo, Suzie trades the group's energy for something moodier, building deep, ambient textures on hardware synths, she partners with Matthew Tineo, a Brooklyn-based saxophonist who has performed with R&B, pop, and experimental artists and has taken the stage at Juilliard and the Chamber Society of Lincoln Center.
Hinoki creator Jenn Chan — a Hong Kong native now based in New York — presents the world-building soundtracks that inspired Hinoki itself: sounds gathered across a decade of moving between homes and searching for rootedness. Hinoki is where the things she treasured most as a child — dance, music, and performance — quietly come together, connecting an inner, meditative world to collective motion.

Movement of Hinoki
Hinoki's movement is shaped by three extraordinary movement directors, and we're grateful for the artistry each brings to this piece.
Carsyn Gekas is a New York–based dancer and choreographer originally from Dallas, Texas. She trained at Purchase College's Conservatory of Dance and performed repertory by Crystal Pite, Micaela Taylor, Kyle Abraham, and Martha Graham.

Savannah Gaillard, is a multidisciplinary artist interested in exploring how the Black body is represented in physical and digital space, Savannah trained at the Kirov Academy, the Ailey School, and NYU Tisch and now performs with the Trisha Brown Dance Company. Together, they lead a cast of undeniably talented dancers bringing Hinoki's movement to life including Emmy Lebrun, Julia Lie, Lucia Gagliardone, Paige Finley, Samanvita Kasthuri, Sydney Chow, Q.

their own biography
the whole biography
Jenn Chan is a Hong Kong–raised creative now based in Brooklyn. She grew up immersed in music — playing in orchestras, studying percussion, piano, and cello — and training in tap, modern dance, and ballet. She spent a significant part of her childhood at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts (HKAPA), training in percussion and finding herself drawn to the theatre as a place of wonder. She was involved in musical theatre productions growing up, including The Wizard of Oz and Romeo and Juliet, participated at the annual UNESCO International Dance Day in Macao and the World Choir Games. The lifelong conversation between body, sound, and stage is the foundation of everything she creates. During her time in Brooklyn, in 2026, Jenn began exploring the chemistry between sounds, lights, and movement while contributing to the production of independent festivals across the US. Along the way, she built experience in artist management and booking, working closely with musicians and performers to bring their work to audiences. Now, she's channeling all of it into her first solo immersive production: Hinoki, a two-night performance at Planet X Studios where dancers weave through the audience as sound, light, and movement unfold together — premiering October 17 and 18.“Her music has received attention from Pitchfork, Stereogum, and KEXP.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Her music has received attention from Pitchfork, Stereogum, and KEXP. She tends to lean toward synth driven rock or ambient experimental music with inspiration from St. Vincent, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Suzanne Ciani, and many others. Her album “glow serene” (Umé Records Japan, 2024) is a collection of ambient improvisations and experimental songs - meditations on love, memory, and mindfulness that can e heard on KEXP's Pacific Notions. In contrast, her single “Be Well” is a synth and guitar driven rock anthem about anxiety and the power of self-growth that can be heard on Pitchfork's Selects.“Hailed by The Crossfader as “one of the pioneers of the next generation’s classical music”, Li’s compositions fuse modular synthesis, live processing, fixed media, film, photography, dance, and prose with elements of classical chamber music to “create a simultaneous understanding of The Beautiful and The Sublime, while exhibiting unparalleled emotional induction.””

the whole biography
Hailed by The Crossfader as “one of the pioneers of the next generation’s classical music”, Li’s compositions fuse modular synthesis, live processing, fixed media, film, photography, dance, and prose with elements of classical chamber music to “create a simultaneous understanding of The Beautiful and The Sublime, while exhibiting unparalleled emotional induction.” (Téa Mottolese, The Crossfader, 2019) Li is a frequent collaborator of a diverse group of musicians, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and even dancers; in 2021, Li was commissioned by Vim Vigor Dance Company for the creation of “TOGETHER IS CLOSE ENOUGH”, a 30-minute site-specific installation dance piece which premiered at the University of Michigan Dance Department. Li is also the recipient of the 1st place Prix D’Été in 2019 for his seven-movement electroacoustic chamber work memoriae, featuring violin, cello, and electronics with samples from avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas’ magnum opus, As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty. Li has also scored a number of short films by fellow filmmakers Lukas Mackinney, Lingyu Yan, and Claire Zhang, as well as a number of original short films. Li currently holds two undergraduate degrees from the Peabody Institute in Computer Music and Recording Arts and currently works at the Juilliard School of Music as an Audio Engineer. Since 2020, Li has begun a significant career in film, working first with fellow composer and filmmaker Lukas Mackinney as a multifaceted sound artist/technician scoring, mixing, and designing sound for film, and later as a filmscoring partner with Qiujiang Levi Lu as Warp Duo. Li is also an accomplished filmmaker on their own, with a number of short films published online (see Film). Further film collaborations have included the score for Mackinney’s 2020 capstone project “Polaroids from the Death of America” and various short films with NYC-based writer, designer and visual artist Claire Zhang. As a composer, Li has collaborated with Vim Vigor Dance Company in the creation of “TOGETHER IS CLOSE ENOUGH”, a fixed media piece performed in 2021 at the University of Michigan Dance Department. In May of 2022, Li premiered a new commission from New World Symphony fellow Eli Pandolfi featuring text and narration by Claire Zhang, film from Lukas Mackinney, and live-processed chamber french horn, violin, and percussion. Li’s 25-minute electroacoustic chamber work "memoriae" was the 1st-place recipient of 2019 Prix D'Ete competition at the Peabody Institute for electroacoustic chamber works achieving novel forms of musical expression.
