Kayla Tange

Kayla Tange was born in South Korea and adopted by a Japanese American family in Lemoore, California. After high school she moved to Los Angeles where her love for poetry and photography slowly progressed into a conceptual performance practice which incorporates elements of exotic dancing in which physical and psychic boundaries, sexuality, permanence, are recurring themes. She has performed burlesque, collaborative art and ancestral healing at venues around Los Angeles, New York and internationally. She often uses dark comedy in her performance work to explore love and longing, cultural stereotyping and societal taboos, catharsis and fetish.
