Where does this nightmare lead?” Lady Macbeth has a special charm as a movement theater, tightening the dramatic tension and knotting the characters’ psychology through delicate yet energetic movements of the actors. This work is filled with a uniquely expressive style that uses objects to symbolize death and purification. The fusion of a live percussion performance, which are the roots of Korean music, serves to function as another characteristic in this piece, one that dramatizes the aural world of the play so powerfully that the audience is able to feel the drama even with their eyes closed. Seminar & Forum Karma represents the rites of passage in the circle of life that human beings go through: birth, growth, marriage, and death. Rather than focusing on spoken words, Karma expresses itself through gestures, movements and facial expressions in a very experimental yet convincing manner. The highlight of the performance is simply observing the physical expressions and energies of the highly trained actors. Performed by the Theatre Company Yohangza, this piece was awarded the Grand Prix (Best Production Award) in the 15th Cairo International Festival of Experimental Theatre (CIFEX) in 2003.

The answer is simple in the performance. The world can be both inside and outside the world, and even everything in the world has its own world inside it. To convey this philosophical idea, this play leads the audience to imaginative stages that stimulate their tension. Intimate communications with the audience also facilitate understandings of entangled storytelling about languages, taboos, myths, and other social and cultural values. Traditional Korean puppets made of paper, unique native masks from local areas in Hahoe and Bukcheong, and various percussion instruments made by recycled items are also impressive and enjoyable must-sees in the play. A Tale of the Haruk won the Best Production at Seoul Children’s Theatre Awards of 2004 and was invited to perform at the BeSeTo Theater Festival of 2005 in China and the ASSITEJ Tokyo of 2003 in Japan. Nottle Theatre PT | Oct. 13 Fri. 5pm~5:30pm | SSTheater PAMS Choice & Overseas Showcases The Tale of Haruk The Return is based on German playwright Bertolt Brecht’s epic Legend of the Dead Soldier. The performance focuses on how to live a happy life in modern society where wars are ceaselessly waged while at the same time questioning the concepts of life and war. Also, it evokes the universal sympathy of human life using various theatrical languages on stage such as physical theater, mime and music from the accordion. The Return was invited to the Theatre Iwato in Japan 2005. They have also been invited to perform at the Ionesco Biennial of 2006 in Moldova, the Sibiu International Theatre Festival of 2006 in Romania, and the Flipside 2006 of the Esplanade in Singapore. Inspired by Brecht’s Legend of the Dead Soldier, they give the poem a rich re-working largely as physical theatre. Some Korean is spoken, with a little English to signpost the way. This impressive cast mixes ghastly scenes with vivid moments of humor and a snail’s pace movement with frenzied dance.

The simple and innovative use of objects and the actors’ deft and dynamic ensemble movements had Woyzeck win acclaim not only in domestic stages but also abroad. In 2005 it was invited to perform in The Theatre Mummenschanz and The Theatre Rigiblick in Switzerland and the Tottori Performing Arts Festival in Japan. There are plans to start an Australian tour in 2006. Sadari Movement Laboratory Seminar & Forum Ah Q is inspired by the Chinese novel Ah Q Zheng Zhuan (The True Story of Ah Q) written by Chinese novelist Luxun (1881-1936). The main theme of the novel revolves around the ignorance of human beings and the lightness of existence. In order to articulate the theme of ignorance, choreographer Sung-Yup Hong experiments with dance forms. He employs images that combine those of flowers, swords and triangular hoods. Hong’s unique ideas concerning the theme are also expressed with the dancers’ sophisticated movements and pleasant atmosphere. Ah Q is the newest dancing performance in 2006 and is jointly produced with the LG Arts Center of Korea. Dance Theatre ON Sadari Movement Laboratory has won acclaim with its new and innovative experiments in contemporary Korean theater. In particular, the company has presented symbolic figures onstage and has created imaginary spaces through objects and the movements of actors. The company’s persistent and systematic training and daring experimentations correspond significantly to the urgent need of a new theater and the search of a new universal language that is suitable to contemporary stage. Since its establishment in 1993, Dance Theatre ON (Choreographer: Sung-Yup Hong) has been performing actively in recognized dance festivals including the Seoul International Dance Festival. Its performance in Lyon Biennale de la Danse 2000 in France received rave reviews from both the public and the local media. The company has since toured in Denmark (2003), Finland (2003), Canada (2005), Germany (2005) and is planning to have a performance in Spain and Portugal in 2006.

Choreography begins with the idea of water to imply a mind in peace, a cognitive aspect of the Korean spirit. This is followed by staging contrasting and disorderly images of modern Korea, and this different direction leads to the display of body movements that depict the degenerated modern Korean society. Established in 1995, the Trust Dance Company has been actively performing all across Europe and Asia, communicating its unique and creative style with the audience. In 1999, the company was awarded the 2nd Best Prize from the Saitama International Creative Dance Contest for the piece What we want to is… winning over audiences and critics alike. The company continues to create and experiment with new pieces that include The Silk Road, Opened Again Through Dance. A-soon Dance Company Founded by Choreographer Ae-soon Ahn in 1983, A-soon Dance Company has produced many pieces that include The 11th Shadow, Circle-after the Other and Just amongst others.

Her continuous accomplishments had results in many invitations, especially regarding Circle-after the Other, that include the Asia-Pacific Week in Berlin (2005), the Singapore Arts Festival (2004) and the Cervantino International Festival (2004). Trust Dance Company 66 PAMS Choice & Overseas Showcases Circle-After the Other Born Again explores the meaning of human reincarnation based on Eastern philosophies. The visualization of Asian spirit and thought is also the principle behind the dance style, stage design and sound. Choreographer and dancer Yun Gyu Kim has sought new methods of dance while traveling through Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. Kim is also trained in such disciplines as Mask Dance, Tai Chi and Yoga, all of which has helped to embody the Asian style of Born Again. Much acclaim and awards have been brought to the Trust Dance Company particularly in 2004, when the company was awarded with the Grand Prix for Dance of The Year from the Arts Council Korea and Choreographer Of The Year from the Korean Organization of Dance Choreographers.

The Plastic Zoo Project shows an imaginary object of a cube on stage, which represents encapsulation of human beings. The cube can be a metaphor for hypocrisies that dull our sense of lives. Cube emphasizes a new attempt of a production process in which two media artists have been offered with only the scenario of Cube and asked to create media works while interactively sharing improvisational yet very intimate communications on stage with Choreographer Jung Min Joo. Being hybrid is the notion of sustaining coexistence of differences, and Choreographer Hye-Jeon Hong applies this notion to the creative tension of producing the piece Hybrid. The highlight of the performance is the stage equipment, which includes a spectacular four-meter-high steel structure. Watching six superb male dancers jumping and dancing on the set is sure to captivate the audience. The piece was created in such a way whereby the audience will be able to enjoy its humor yet receive heart-warming messages, a signature of Hong’s unique dancing style. Seminar & Forum Plastic Zoo Project Hong Dance Company Plastic Zoo was founded in 2005 by four tremendously talented individuals of a director, a composer, and two dancers. Starting with a dance drama named Alice In Wonderland, the group is expected to perform three new plays in 2006. All of their performances are in accordance with their concept, that is, real freedom of independent stage art. The philosophy of the project team is that links to the past and present are denied for the future, identifying the future as a sweet but abstract notion. Its production process moves forward for the freedom of artistic expressions. Hong Dance Company was established in 2000 under the direction of choreographer HyeJeon Hong to express the modern Korean culture and mentality, combined with western culture. Hong Dance Company is one of the fastest growing contemporary dance companies in Korea, delivering strong messages with cheerful laughter on various episodes of life in our society.

It is based on the dance piece Femme, which was presented in the International Modern Dance Festival (2002), this performance is about the furies and revenge of four women who were tormented and murdered. Lost Children is, however, a newly created piece which projects a peaceful story of the four women in Femme when they were still young and not yet tormented. Set against Ravel’s music, choreographer Sungsoo Ahn suggests that the most peaceful time of his formal protagonists is through choreographic emphasis on the contrasts of movements between the upper and lower part of a human body. Seminar & Forum Janghwa Hongryun is based on an old Korean tale of the same title about the revenge of two sisters murdered by villains. This old tale is known as one of the most didactic stories to sublimate Han, indicative of the grudge in a traditional Korean context that has also been justified and beautified. This performance, however, deconstructs the previous meanings of the tale and re-constructs the entire process of the revenge with different forms of movements, through which Choreographer Kyung-Ok Lee emphasizes the presentation of grudges being continuously reborn to question the true nature of the subjects. This performance is also recognized and identified as combining the comical movements of traditional and contemporary Korean dance with the live music of a young Korean percussion group. Sungsoo Ahn Pick-up Company Lee Kyung-Ok Dance Company Lee Kyung-Ok Dance Company genuinely demonstrates the Korean culture by interpreting traditional stories into dance pieces that include social criticism. In 2002, the company presented its first piece The 1st Dance Nursery Story for Adults: Single ShoeShim Chung, a story that combines the Korean traditional tale Kongji and Patji with the western fairy tale Cinderella, a production that was a great success.

As poor life in the outskirts of a city in the 1980s of Korea is portrayed with fantasy of Schumann’s Kinderszenen. The Old Song Book shows co-existence of current Korean dance, while expanding self-conscious aesthetics of Korean traditional dance.

Shadows eliminates stories and employs its own way of phrasing abstract dance images based on artistic meditation to express unique and active body movements that constantly maintains a circulation of breathing and fills the space on the stage. Working with a Mexican composer also adds visual variety, with the dancers improvising to the new melodies and rhythms, the fusion of this special music and dance exceeds all expectations. Kim Yoon Jin Dance Company Won Kim / Group Collaboration OR Established in 2005, Kim Yoon Jin Dance Company has explored to find new genres and possibilities in modern Korean dance, and Kim has been active in attempting to adapt the formal and stylistic boundaries of modern dance to traditional Korean dance.

The Two-Between, a report on developmental phases of human relationships, presents two strangers who close the gap that exists between them by using identical objects from various angles along with the flow of wit, joy, and death. The performance merges female dancer Kyung-Eun Lee’s powerful energy with male dancer Saito Eiji’s mild tenderness. The creative ideas of the two dancers and choreographers demonstrate such a wonderful mixture of delicacy and wit that it is difficult to believe the piece is actually a collaboration of dance companies from Korea and Japan. The duet piece Trace was created in 2005 by choreographer Yong-In Lee and is about the influences that are given and taken in relationships. The key point of this piece is Lee’s body, with which she uses to create unique yet intuitive movements that have their own logic and metaphors. These are fluidly expanded into two bodies onstage to convey a sense of intensity and density. Seminar & Forum UBIN Dance Following her success as a solo artist and choreographer, Yong-In Lee founded the UBIN Dance in 2004 and premiered Trace in 2005. UBIN Dance has established own style in a short space of time owing in no small part to Lee’s experiences as the principal dancer in several international companies in Europe and further experiences as a freelancer. Her pieces deliver diversely picturesque images through a mastery of movements that do without theatrical expressions or mimed explanations. At a time when dancing becomes absent in more and more dance pieces, her works are purely devoted to movements, which she considers to be very essence of dance. Lee K. Dance The works of Lee K. Dance are characterized by explosive energy, pure emotions, and provocative stage manners. Choreographer Kyung-Eun Lee has described her peculiar choreographic direction as a way of thinking with the body and using research to express the mind. Her themes and topics are mostly drawn from everyday life and social issues that people confront in their everyday lives. Her newest work The Two-Between will be touring Switzerland, England and Canada in 2007.

The performance portrays the strenuous waiting of human lives and the despair caused by the waiting through intricate yet repetitive and reserved movements. A very sophisticated stage with a stable rectangular structure and wooden poles from the top symbolize the space from which residents (dancers) wish to escape but. The Forest focuses on maintaining unique sounds of each instrument and using them to create a new type of music that utilizes the beautiful harmonies of all. The natural howl of traditional wooden instruments mask the metallic sounds of modern electronic instruments, which in turn lend power to the traditional lyrical instruments. As for percussive sounds, The Forest uses Latin inspired music and other countries’ traditional percussion styles to make their own sound lighter and fresher while still retaining the traditional rhythm deep within. This wondrous music is rich and full of variety.

Its performances present an opportunity to explore and to trace the footsteps of traditional Korean music. The company has been attempting to seek a balanced development while creating new harmonies between traditional and modern musical elements. One of the company’s most important achievements was winning the Korean Traditional Music Grand Prix from KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) in 2005. Showcase | Oct. 12 Thur. 4:30pm~5pm | SSTheater PAMS Choice & Overseas Showcases The Beginning of the Passion is the first part of the Korean World Music Group O-GamDo’s trilogy Departure, which deals with the great proposition of life. It is composite performance combining the harmonies of traditional Korean musical and electronic instruments with such multidisciplinary elements as Pansori (Korean vocal music encompassing literature, music, and drama), Korean traditional dance, theater action, and projection images. Kang Eun Il Haegumplus New Zealand (Wellington, Oakland) Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) United Arab Emirates (Dubai) Japan (Tokyo) Booth Exhibitions The Beginning of the Passion (Departure: Episode 1) Remembrance of Future by Kang Eun Il’s company Haegumplus takes traditional Korean music as a text and creates a crossover musical experience that spans the East and West. Bandleader Kang’s music demonstrates the possibilities of the Korean string instrument Haegum. Although the Haegum’s tone is actually rough, Eun-Il Kang has adopted its tone into a new music full of beautiful melodies and temperance so that the music approaches the audience as a lyrical poem. Her strong and gracious bowing will delight audiences who are already familiar with Korean music, with a new understanding of Korean music’s potentials. For audiences who are unfamiliar with such music, Kang provides them with the opportunity to share in the universal language of music.

The nature of clay can inspire people to reach deep inside to connect with their instinct and creativity, and the key of the performance is actually touching the clay and feeling its texture and properties. Through such activities as looking, stepping, throwing, drawing, molding and slipping on clay in the performance, children are able to nurture their imagination while adults can reminisce a certain innocence they may have lost long ago. Seminar & Forum Poverty has a nostalgic element to it, and a handcart, which usually symbolizes the poverty of Korea in the past, allows various possibilities of dramatic movements and images through a different approach in its balance and usage. Handcart, Overturned focuses on employing the handcart to inspire more lively physical movements and the real space of the performance is also changed into a space that has poetic connotations. The extension of metaphors in the performance leads the audience to go beyond the limits of imagination. The audience also has an interactive experience arranged in and out of the theater space, and they are requested to participate beyond the stage barriers. Domino Look Corporal Theatre Momggol Established in 2006 by artist Young Ran Lee, Domino Look has endeavored to give an opportunity for children to engage in activities with such diverse tools as clay, flour, light and water to nurture their imagination and creativity. The company has created an original scene of the object theater, staging new ideas about plays in theaters and galleries. 80 Performing Art Market in Seoul 2006 Contact Contact Representative | Young Lan Lee Contact Person | Sun Young Go Address | #226-90, Seongbuk 2-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 136-824, Korea Tel | +82-(0)16-348-7302 Email | [email protected] Website | www.dominolook.net Representative | Jong Yeon Yoon Contact Person | Myung Hwa Shin / Artistic Manager Address | 3F, Momggol Studio, 54-46, Mullae-dong 3(sam)-ga, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul 150-834 , Korea Tel | +82-(0)2-2636-4861 Fax | +82-(0)2-2636-4861 Email | [email protected] Website | www.momggol.com Showcase | Oct. 14 Sat. 5:30pm~6pm | SSTheater PAMS Choice & Overseas Showcases 81 Other Event PT | Oct. 14 Sat. 3:30pm~4pm | SSTheater Established in 2002, the company has sought to discover, and recognized the importance of physical acting by minimizing the use of words and expanding the use of the human body and visual images.

It is a spectacular open-air performance combining different elements of various genre such as theater, contemporary dance and video arts. It also applies the notion of the cruelty by Antonin Artaud and the out-door festivities of the Kut (Korean traditional performance of exorcism) to the performance. The trans-gender Alice sings a song with lip-synch, a Korea traditional crossover band produces explosive sounds, and the Little Prince, who is portrayed as a dwarf in the performance, delivers a pretty play. This ironical style leads audiences to the time and space beyond a common sense, which is indecipherable and inexplicable. At the same time, however, they can experience fresh enlightenment through this experimental art form of overlapping and colliding differences. Seminar & Forum Audiences have been thrilled with Kok Du, a lively performance filled with delightful music and brilliant wit. Kok Du, which is also the name of a traditional Korean puppet, is led mainly by one musician and two puppeteers who characterize three clowns. The performance begins with the clowns invoking the spirit of the deceased for them to immerse into the puppets. The clowns then embark on their adventurous journey with those puppets, which eventually ends with them fulfilling the spirits’ dreams that they were unable to while they were still alive. Since all the puppets employed in the performance depict the spirits of a traditional Korean funeral bier, they are carved out of wood and decorated with a traditional Korean design called the Dancheong. Creative Group NONI Sungmin Hong The members of Noni are graduates of the Korean National University of Arts who have majored in Performing Arts and Stage Design. All the artists in the company have a profound understanding in a wide range of traditional Korean culture, especially in dance and music. Noni has been striving to broaden their artistic capacities to create collaborations of traditional performance methods with modern visual languages. 82 Performing Art Market in Seoul 2006 Contact Contact Representative | Kyung Hee Kim Contact Person | Hyun Ju Sim / Manager Address | #605, Woojung Plaza, 760-3 Singokdong, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do 480-070, Korea Tel | +82-(0)31-853-4881 Fax | +82-(0)31-853-4886 Email | [email protected] Representative | Sung Min Hong / President Contact Person | Say-Ok Lee Address | Department Time Art, Kaywon School Of Art And Design, San 125, Naesondong, Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do 437-712 , Korea Tel | +82-(0)11-9610-6467 Email | [email protected] Website | www.aliceprince.com Full-length Performance | Oct. 14 Sat. 8pm | Marronnier Park PAMS Choice & Overseas Showcases 83 Other Event Showcase | Oct. 14 Sat. 3pm~3:30pm | SSTheater Sugnmin Hong is a media artist and has worked with diverse artists from the field of theater, dance, music and visual arts.

The story of a blind boy, Wit & Beat presents creative visual images onstage where imaginary sounds invite audiences to the world of music without notation and rendition without instruments. Sets and objects on the stage are turned into musical instruments while superb mimes and comical dramas delight the audience. Hamutsun Serve, comprised of Rikiccho and Dayoshi, has attracted audience by their animation dance technique, such as Slow Motion, Ticking, MoonWalk, and their selfinvented movement.
