Synopsis
[Performance Introduction] 1. Yubin Dance <Sensory Material 2.0> Introduction to the Company and Choreographer Yubin Dance is a contemporary dance company that explores the relationship between the body and the senses. They have continuously conducted sensory experiments to approach the essence of dance through delicate movements and the expansion of media. Through works such as the <Choreography Note> series, they have solidified a unique artistic philosophy regarding the body and dance. Based on this foundation, they continue to contemplate modes of existence amidst societal changes and express them through movement. Choreographer Lee Na-hyun explores dance not as the completion of an absolute form, but as a change in relationships. Through collaborations with various fields such as photography, video, and philosophy, as well as lecture performances, she is simultaneously conducting experiments on the expansion of the forms and modes of communication within dance art. Work Description <Sensory Material 2.0> explores the awakening of the senses and the emergence of flow. The sensory materials received by the body become the catalysts that trigger the dance, and the dance, in turn, forms a cyclical structure that generates new sensory materials. <Sensory Material 2.0> aims to present events as conditions for the emergence of dance, rather than dance as a form or means of conveying meaning created by organizing the senses. 2. Melancholy Dance Company <Ubermensch> Introduction to the Company and Choreographer Starting with the 2016 work <Flight>, Melancholy Dance Company has showcased prolific creative activity, including <0g>, <Ubermensch>, and <Your Signs>, earning recognition from the dance community for its choreographic capabilities and potential for growth. By fully embracing the melancholic emotions of the present era, the company seeks to demonstrate the expansion of body language and the overcoming of limitations through art to reach the future and ideals. Jung Cheol-in, the representative of Melancholy Dance Company, is building his creative world as a choreographer by presenting works that resonate with audiences through research on human life centered on corporeality. Furthermore, through life and art, the artist explores the changing surroundings, environment, and entities existing beyond humans, creating time to transform for a new perspective as an artist. Artwork Description Nietzsche stated that there is no happiness in a life seeking only comfort, and that a life lived dangerously is the most beautiful. Starting from this philosophy of Nietzsche, the work *Übermensch* applies the human will to overcome oneself and the meaning of true freedom to the image of modern man, questioning the direction of life we should take. 3. Choi Ho-jung *YOYO* Introduction to the Group and Choreographer Choreographer Choi Ho-jung structures movement with the audience's emotions and impressions at the center, working to expand the inherent movements of the human body into an artistic language. Using naturally flowing emotions as stage elements, she embodies them as living images harmonizing with space, lighting, and music, discovering new aesthetic values within everyday gestures. Artwork Description 〈YOYO〉 explores the sensation of the verb ‘yoyohada’ (to shake repeatedly), as defined in the Korean Standard Dictionary, and the physical phenomenon known as the ‘yoyo effect’ through bodily movement. The dancer’s body chooses and moves, but its trajectory returns amidst repetition and circulation. Through the trajectory of the body rising, falling, and returning like a yoyo, the work reveals the contemporary bodily sensation of being constantly adjusted and shaken within a structure of repetitive choices.
