Chaery Moon is a choreographer, performer, and educator whose work operates at the intersection of dance, visual art, and technology-informed practice. Moving fluidly between Eastern and Western traditions, she weaves together her classical ballet foundation with contemporary experimentation to investigate how time, identity, and memory are experienced through the body. Her creative process treats the stage, gallery, or site-responsive installation as a space for collective inquiry—allowing abstract ideas to evolve into concrete, immersive forms through deep cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Chaery embarked on her dance journey with the Korean National Ballet and the Korea National Institute for the Gifted in Arts before gaining early international acclaim as a Tanzolymp winner in Berlin. She earned her BFA from The Juilliard School and later joined the Ballet de l'Opéra de Lyon in France, where she expanded her repertoire across diverse dance forms and cultures. Upon returning to the United States, she completed her MFA in Dance at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and founded Chaery Moon Dance in 2017 to create works for stage, film, and site-specific performances.

Her choreography has been recognized and supported by the Baryshnikov Arts Center, NYFA, LMCC, Arts Council Korea, the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, the Leimay Foundation, Downtown Brooklyn and Chez Bushwick. Also an active performer and writer, Chaery performs with Rashaun Mitchell + Silas Riener and the Merce Cunningham Trust. She is a certified Cunningham Technique® instructor, has been invited to teach at Juilliard and NYU Tisch, and her critical writing has been published in Dance and People and Dance Magazine Korea.
