Leading artist of the Korean performing arts scene, Eun-Me Ahn studied contemporary dance at the Ehwa Womans University in Seoul. She created her company in 1988, before moving to New York in 1991 to study at the Tisch School of the Arts. In 2001, she moved back to Korea and continued her choreographic and performance practice, revisiting her country’s classics (Princess Bari) or investigating social issues—often working with non-professionals—like that of generations (Dancing Grandmothers, Dancing Teen Teen, Dancing Middle-aged Men) or handicap (Ahnsim Dance, with blind people, or Daeshim Dance, with small size people).  

With a repertoire of over 150 pieces, she has known international recognition with productions such as Symphoca Princess Bari, Let Me Change Your Name or Dancing Grandmothers, which have been presented at the most prestigious stages around the world. Eun-Me Ahn is associated artist at Théâtre de la Ville-Paris.
