东妮尔的艺术实践从舞蹈、表演、剧场，延伸到移动影像、编码、软雕塑和文本。根植于北方跨境的游牧文化、自然观、哲学和艺术，核心探索身体和行动的形而上学，以及与特定空间时间的关系。贯穿着对感知、具身经验、迁移、自然景观，及其深层结构和文化缠结的兴趣。近十年往返于北京、纽约、内蒙古生活工作，既沉浸在传统艺术中，又采纳迥异的理解世界的方法，拥抱各种形式和哲学的不和谐挑战，内化为独立的创作角度；善于从看似对立的事物中，发现联系和同质异构之处；对二元论思维提出挑战。
Born in Inner Mongolia in 1988, she is a choreographer, dancer, and interdisciplinary artist, founder of Field Motion, and co-founder of NUUM Collective. Dongnier began her rigorous classical dance training at the age of ten. She holds an MFA (Choreography and Technology) from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, having previously graduated Summa Cum Laude from Beijing Dance Academy with BA and MA (Ethnic and Folk Dance), also studied as a visiting scholar at SUNY Purchase College (Contemporary Dance). She has previously taught at Barnard College-Columbia University and CUNY Hunter College Dance Department as an adjunct assistant professor. She is currently on faculty at Beijing Dance Academy.
Dongnier’s practices take many forms, from dance, performance, and theater, to moving-image, programming, soft sculpture, and text. Rooted in the northern trans-border nomadic culture, views of nature, philosophies, and art, her art is continuous exploration of metaphysics of the human body, motion and its relation to specific space and time. Running through all the practice is an interest in perception, embodied experience, migration, natural landscape, and the structure and cultural entanglement behind them. Shuffling back and forth between Beijing, New York, and Inner Mongolia in the past decade, she immerses herself in traditional art on one hand, and on the other hand, embraces a unique perspective that welcomes the dissonance from various forms and philosophies, which is internalized into an independent style of artmaking. She is particularly good at finding connections and shared nature among seemingly opposite things, challenging dualistic thinking.
