David Lim has been practicing and teaching contact improvisation since 2005. He has studied the dance form with luminaries such as Nancy Stark Smith, KJ Holmes, Martin Keogh, Ray Chung, Alejandro Rolandi, and Joerg Hassman, and his investigation into contact improvisation is informed by movement approaches such as Alexander Technique, Body-Mind Centering, and Ideokinesis.

As performer/choreographer, his works have been shown at Cloth & Clef, Short & Sweet Dance Malaysia, Dancebox FUSED, Malaysia-Japan Video Art Exchange, Sama-sama Guesthouse Mini Alternative Art Festival, MAP Arts Festival, Inno-Fest, Multimedia University’s Research Creation Exhibition, SiCKL’s Improv Lab @ FINDARS, and SiCKL’s Open Lab. His works have included collaboration with other artists such as musicians Melvin Ho and Yong Yandsen, new media artists Lim Kok Yoong and Kotaro Tanaka, and dancer-choreographers Low Shee Hoe and Kristine Nilsen Oma.
