HOEDIA DAMAR GANING
(INDONESIA)
Hoedia Damar Ganing or commonly known as Hoe was born in Kediri – East Java in 1999, a young intellectual artist and contemporary dance creator who has produced various works with high originality. The East Javanese genre (especially: Malangan and Surabayan) becomes the root of many of the brilliant works she has ever created. The manifestations of art forms that Hoe has issued so far have ultimately formed many unique genres or subgenres of the classical idiom genres which have become the basis for her domination (East Java, Surabaya and Malangan). Hoe (apart from being a pure choreographer) is also involved in the world of training, including as: instructor, researcher, adviser, judge, and also an art teacher in several schools. Currently Hoe spends a lot of time at the studio she founded Sarwapalaka.Art
