Dance Performance | Creatives in Motion: Emerging Korean Artists


Designed to showcase emerging Korean artists and foster connections with local artists and audiences in New York, the event will feature  promising talents from the Korea National University of Arts, the program includes exhibitions, performances by six artist teams and networking opportunities. PROGRAM Ⅱ by T.O.B Group “if we stop fighting, we’ll never get anywhere.” A line from an animation I enjoyed as a kid feels different over time. The scenes of silly cats and cheeky mice chasing each other and pressuring each other for life, and the difficult situations they create, bring out laughter.  Chased by Tom, Jerry sometimes seems distressed, and feels compassion for Tom, who is playful with Jerry, but we know they need each other more and remain in a deep relationship to keep competing. Perhaps we're having a hard time as Tom or Jerry somewhere. Conversely, aren't we living our daily lives feeling the pressure of the "Tom" or "Jerry" created by the modern world? "Tom and Jerry" began with this question. We freeze and fail in the face of reality that seems to change quickly and force something, but we hope to grow in reality over and over again like Tom and Jerry. "Tom and Jerry" intends to tap and comfort us at a breathtaking crossroads of choice. The door used in the work is the boundary line between the space that connects the inside and the outside, the reality that we don't want to face at the same time, and the possibility that can only be experienced when opened. In other words, the door means our 'choice'. I don't know what is a beneficial option in a situation of being chased, but the dynamic movement of dancers moving toward new possibilities by repeating what opens and closes represents modern people in our society.

Concert | Creatives in Motion: Emerging Korean Artists


Designed to showcase emerging Korean artists and foster connections with local artists and audiences in New York, the event will feature promising talents from the Korea National University of Arts, the program includes exhibitions, performances by six artist teams and networking opportunities. PROGRAM III by Hammer "K.R.U.S.H!" is an abbreviation of "Korean Rhymes Uniting Strings Harmony," which means a harmonious combination of Korean traditional rhythms and string instruments. Geomungo, Korea's representative string instrument, and percussion instruments that best reveal the joy, anger, sorrow and sorrow of our ancestors met to maximize the beauty of the intersection, and it also contains the meaning of crushed out prejudice against Korean traditional music. 1. Geomungo-nori - 10 minutes Samulnori originally means a play of four instruments 'samul' (kkwaenggwari gong, janggu drum, buk drum and jing gong). But what if the geomungo is accompanied by this samulnori? It presents intense and exciting performances by exchanging various beats of samulnori with the geomungo. 2. Bring to the boil - 7 minutes Celtic music refers to songs and performances of ethnic styles such as Ireland and Scotland, and it can be said that whistle performance and Enya's songs belong to them. These countries and Korea form a consensus on the emotion of 'Han', and this emotion can be felt in common in music. It was newly arranged with a traditional Korean instrument composition using the song of the Celtic band belt-bring to the foil as a motif. 3. Another Ego - 6 minutes It explores the duality of another me, that is, the ego. It tries to express a resonant sound between the endless universe and one's inner self. The melody of the geomungo captures our own emotions, and the rhythm that resembles the mysterious order of the universe symbolizes dialogue with another ego. "Alter ego" is a song about the two egos of performers who yearn for freedom while searching for the middle at the boundary between the music I want to do and the music the public wants.
