He later studied Western dance techniques at the Academy of Dance Arts NJ before attending Boston Conservatory and the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing. Paul performed and toured with Pilobolus Dance Theatre as a repertory company member from 2019 to 2023 and continues working with them as a teaching artist. He is currently a collaborator with Motlee Party and a company member of 3AM Theatre. Paul also creates work under DRWN with Sungjin Park, in addition to making props and set pieces with recyclable material for a variety of productions.
Sungjin Park (박성진) is a Korean immigrant movement artist. Their work is informed by collectivist themes and practices they adopted growing up in Seoul, South Korea and Tokyo, Japan. They began dancing in high school, training with Seoul Dance Company and Blackpool Dance in South Korea before extending their performance studies in California. Under the guidance of performance artists Micol Hebron, Amber Power, and Arushi Singh, they broadened their interest in durational and experimental performance practices. Upon graduating from Chapman University, Sungjin moved to New York to create with 3AM Theatre, Motlee Party, and DRWN—a choreographic collaboration with Paul Liu.
