Dance Performance | Maedeup: An Encounter with Korean Visual Heritage through Contemporary Dance (In Person AND Online!)
A live, non-verbal performance that reimagines Korean classical painting through contemporary performance. Named after the Korean word for "knot," Maedeup evokes the weaving together of image, movement, sound, and memory. Inspired by the visual world of Shin Yun-bok (Hyewon), an 18th-century Korean painter renowned for his portrayals of women and everyday life, the work unfolds without spoken text. Foley performance, tableau vivant, live visuals, and live camera work transform his paintings into living, time-based events in which body, sound, and image converge in real time. The production offers an encounter with Korean visual heritage beyond language and cultural boundaries. The project brings Korean cultural heritage into contemporary performance and into dialogue with international audiences. Led by director and professor Kim JiYoung, the production brings together professional performers connected to SeoulArts in an interdisciplinary collaboration spanning theatre, visual art, sound, photography, and live media. Kim's recent work explores new ways of connecting Korean tradition with contemporary expression.

Dance Performance | Dance about Women, Friendship, & Changing Times
The Moving Architects’ Restless Women is an evening of dance. From The New Jam a 1960s-stylized quartet marked by Stepford Wives-esque precision, flashes of abandon, and a soundtrack of surf and British rock; to Where She Once Stood: Boarder’s Kitchen a jazz-infused duet portraying the resilient lives of women seeking work, safety, and community in a 1930s boarding house; to From the Sea, Across the Field, Up the Hill, a bluegrass-scored work about friends embracing the landscape and each other in a literary-inspired world, these works and the exceptional dancers who bring these stories to life exemplify The Moving Architects’ power to create compelling worlds filled with rigorous, spatially alive, fiercely feminine dance.

Dance Performance | Site-Specific Dance Duet, Physical Dialogue Finding Balance
This performance brings together dancers Asha Thomas and Robert Cornejo in an intimate dance that offers a sensitive lecture on communication across generations. By placing these two artists at distinct, contrasting moments in their lives and careers, the choreography becomes a living conversation where maturity and youth meet. Their physical dialogue navigates the deep-seated difficulties of finding balance, letting the human relationship play out directly within the environment around them. Choreographer Leo Lerus's practice frequently draws inspiration from the Guadeloupean Gwoka music tradition, exploring the island's natural and cultural ability to adapt to change. Through his movement research, Lerus explores environments in a delicate natural balance and examines how that equilibrium is altered by contemporary input. By weaving these ideas into the duet, the performance reflects the complex mix of feelings around environmental preservation--using the movement of two different generations to juxtapose disappointment and anger with an enduring hope and a shared movement toward a positive future. The performance takes place as well at 2:00 pm and 3:30 pm.

Dance Performance | El Péndulo (The Pendulum): Immersive Improvisational Dance Reflecting Cultural Perspectives, from Collectivism to Individualism.
Throughout this interactive piece, dancers explore an array of movement ideas from a relational perspective, shifting between instances of connection and disconnection. While the dancers swing, suspend, sway, and vacillate, we invite the audience to stand or walk during the performance, observing the piece from varied perspectives. They are encouraged to get close to the performers, appreciate details, connect with the dancers, and become integral parts of the experience. This project stems from an idea that has become increasingly relevant in our current political climate. Historically, the ‘pendulum’ has swung incessantly from one dominant political perspective to the opposite. We look at the pendulum's opposite ends as reflecting our cultural perspectives, ranging from collectivism to individualism.

Dance Performance | Open Rehearsal: A Choreographic Journey
Artists host an intimate first look at the creative process of our developing work, Exposed. This rehearsal was followed by a Wine and Cheese Reception. Exposed is an evening-length work that explores vulnerability, vision, and courage. The scenic design creates an ever-changing landscape of pathways, levels, and partitions that conceals, distorts, confounds, beckons, and demands resilience. The choreography traces a journey from fragmentation and restraint to openness and release, unfolding through fluid partnering, interconnected ensemble work, sweeping phrases, buoyant lifts, and soaring moments of suspension that embody trust and transformation.
