Native from Laos, Olé Khamchanla discovered hip hop in 1990 and honed his skills under Farid Azzout, Gabin Nuissier and Storm, learned Capoeira from Fred Bedongue and Beja Flore, and contemporary dance from Abou Lagraa and Monica Cazadei. With the company A’CORPS (1997-2011), Khamchanla co-created several shows which left his mark and established his status as a choreographer. In 2011, he created his own dance company “Kham” referencing his fi­rst solo and has choreographed six pieces ever since: Focus, Akalika 1, Akalika 7, Fang Lao, Attraction and Negotiation.

The Autistic Genius (AG) is originally an experimental dance theatre presentation by Rex Chiu and a few dance masters in 2011, bringing together these dance talents of different backgrounds and expertise who devised, created and showed episodes, pictures and even their inner world that would touch the audience. In 2012, Chiu turned this creation and performance team into an official association to further develop this concept. Besides creating, they are also committed to education so that more young people can understand the arts, unleash their potential and make progress.
