We are all breathing the same air, and we are all connected. From a theater in Seoul, percussionist Kim So Ra experiments with rhythm and movement alongside contemporary dancers Kim Young Mi and Hong Kyeong Hwa, percussionist Hyun Seung Hun, and piri (bamboo reed flute) player Hong Ji Hye for the short film Jangdan: Conversation of the Breath, premiering at National Sawdust’s Digital Discovery Festival on the eve of Seollal, the Korean Lunar New Year.
The five artists perform in harmony, weaving an intimate choreography in this immersive visual experience . Everything starts and ends with the breath.
Jang Dan: Breath Conversation is presented in partnership with the Korean Cultural Center New York, and will be co-streamed on the KCCNY Youtube channel.
