My Choreography Philosophy
Dance is a universal language that speaks to our natural, innate human experience.
As a choreographer, my goal is to empower dancers to express their individuality and find their unique voice through movement. I draw inspiration from my diverse background in ballet, modern, and Korean dance, as well as my passion for nature and spirituality. I believe that movement is a powerful language that can communicate emotions and connect us beyond cultural and linguistic barriers.
On the technical side, as an Asian choreographer, I combined ballet techniques with new thinking from Eastern dance to create flowing, natural, organic movements inspired by natural phenomena such as water, wind, and the movements of animals. I emphasize the exploration of internal energy within the human body and the way in which it can be harnessed and manipulated to create fluid and dynamic movements through space and time. I am fascinated by the relationship between the human body and the natural world and believe that dance can evoke a sense of connection and harmony with nature.
Through dance, I hope to connect with the audience on a deeper level, conveying meaning and beauty. I value collaboration and experimentation in the creative process, often working with musicians, visual artists, media technicians, and other dancers to create multidisciplinary works that draw on a range of creative perspectives.
Overall, my philosophy centers around the belief that dance can serve as a powerful tool for personal expression and connection. By tapping into our inner selves and sharing our experiences through movement, we can bring greater understanding and meaning to the world.
