Jihae Ko

I am an interdisciplinary artist, practitioner, and researcher based in Amsterdam.

In my work, the body is the primary medium that textualizes time, space, and presence into form.

Through movement, ritual, and sensory–energy practices, I explore how bodily experience turns into direct knowing, how sensation and intuition become insight, and how art, healing, and nature communicate as one language.

As a performer and dance artist, I create ritual performances and nature retreats rooted in the five elements, inviting audiences and participants to return to their bodies, energy, and the living intelligence of the natural world.

I am also a registered acupuncturist, somatic movement practitioner, and co-founder of
Medicine Body Studio, where I offer ongoing private sessions, workshops, and research. The nature retreats are offered in collaboration with Cuore del Sole Artist Residency & Retreat.
