The Kernel Dance Theatre company, formed by Junyi Sun, Alma Steiner, and Marina Miguel, develops its own language by integrating contemporary dance, martial arts, and theater. 'Kernel' (from the German 'kern' or 'kurna' etymology of the Proto-Germanic language) is a word that means 'core, center, or essence of an object or system.'
The idiosyncrasy of the company is based on the diversity and plurality of disciplines and origins of the group members.
