street dance performance
If dance is open to all movement, is all movement open to every body? When every movement becomes dance, how do we imagine the body dancing it? Now it is not the movement but the body that has to be questioned in order to examine the notion of dance. Wonyoung and Kisub revisit Yvonne Rainer's Trio A in this piece. It may radicalise the egalitarian promise implicit in the original work and relieve the promise here and now. It is radical not in that it shows different bodies on stage but in that it questions the notion of the body itself.
Wonyoung Kim is a lawyer, author of bestselling books and actor, who made a number of stage appearances on his wheelchair. As an artist, however, he has been deeply concerned with the fact that there is a certain crucial aspect of being which defies any kind of regulation: the body.
Project YYIN is an artist collective, based in Seoul, South Korea, consisting of choreographer/dancer Kisub Choi and choreographer/dramaturg Sinae Rha. They have been working on the relationship between dance and choreography.
