Join Kum for a hands-on origami making workshop from 11am-2pm, in preparation for her performance event that will explore notions of dance as a sacred ritual at 3pm. The day will conclude with a talk by the artist from 3pm.
‘…..dance was not only for spectacle but a sacred ritual, it was essential as a healing practice, which integrates our psychosomatic state of being. When our bodies are submerged in daily inertia, the only means to retrieve ourselves is to awaken this subdued dormant state of mind…….’ Soni Kum 2012
Soni Kum is an interdisciplinary artist who was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan as a third generation Korean. She grew up in the North Korean Community in Japan but only spent about 8 days in North Korea when she was a teenager. Kum obtained South Korean citizenship in 2006.
