Xin Ying

Artist

Xin Ying, interdisciplinary artist and MFA graduate of NYU Tisch Dance, is a Dance Magazine cover star and principal with the Martha Graham Dance Company. The Brooklyn Rail has described her as “posthuman” for her experiments in merging dance and technology. She created MarthaBot, a GPT trained on Graham’s archive, and premiered Lamentation: Dancing the Archive—a volumetric film and AR installation—at Jacob’s Pillow in 2025. That same year, her AI-driven duet Letter to Nobody, which allows her to dance with Martha Graham, premiered at The Joyce Theater. Xin continues to pioneer new forms of digital legacy and embodied memory.
