Daniel Kok read BA (Honours) Fine Art & Critical Theory at Goldsmiths College (London). In 2012, he received an MA (Distinction) in Solo/Dance/Authorship (SODA) at the Inter-University Centre for Dance (HZT, Berlin). In 2014, he completed the Advanced Performance and Scenography Studies (APASS) in Brussels. Between 2005 to 2010, he was an Associate Artist of The Substation (Singapore). In 2008, he received the Young Artist Award from National Arts Council (Singapore).

Daniel’s work deals with the politics of relationality in spectatorship and audienceship. His creations “Q&A” (2009), “The Gay Romeo” (2011), “Cheerleader of Europe” (2014), “ALPHA” (2014), “PIIGS” (2015) and “Bunny” (2016) have been presented in different cities in Asia, Europe, Australia, as well as the USA and West Africa. Presently, he is keen to investigate relational politics by looking at queerness and the notion of trans-individuality.

Daniel also identifies as a pole dancer, rope bondage practitioner and a Thai masseur. As a pole dancer, he won the SG Pole Challenge (2012) and represented Singapore as a Finalist in the International Pole Championships (2013).
