*Company Introduction
Bereishit Dance Company was founded in 2011 by choreographer Park Soonho. Interested in the dynamic relationship between nature’s physical laws and the human body and that between people and society, the Company seriously explores these relationships. Starting from such exploration, the Company forms a basis for its choreography with acts improvised by contact. Bereishit attempts to connect the forms and themes of specific sports and traditional art genres. They also presents choreographic works that demonstrate their excellence and universality, thus drawing attention in and out of Korea. Today, the Company is ceaselessly invited by festivals and theaters in North America, South America, Europe and Asia and performs actively.
*Performance Detail
’Balance & Imbalance’
Body movements and sounds are the oldest and most basic tools for human beings to express themselves. Focused on these “body movements and sounds”, we present ourselves and communicate with others. In this work, we try to look into “the sound made by the body, the movements made from the sound.” Body, which perceives us and others, makes sounds, and through this process, the relationship with others circulated and expanded by repeating balance and imbalance. In the right center of this, there is excitement created by the body movements and sounds.
’JUDO’
Violence is a human instinct that needs to be released constantly. Sports, which have provided people with opportunities to release their violence, allow us to face human nature. By means of dance and rhythm, this work expresses the ambivalent balance between human violence and sports rules. This is also a natural experiment of what society makes visible: competition and cooperation, conflict and harmony.
