10 YEARS IN 1 MINUTE - STILL MOVING

My eyes are looking out of the window onto tomorrow. My ears are listening to birds singing from far away yesterday. My left cheek touches and smells the leaves from my ancestral trees. My arms are drawing water from awell and pour it into the air.
 
This is how Jee-Ae Lim learned to dance when she was young. Throughout the years, during the education in traditional and modern dance, she embodied various stereotypes of movements and concepts of the body. 10 Years in a Minute – Still Moving is a choreographic project that explores the idea of aestheticized bodies in the history of dance with the aim to reinterpret existing aesthetic concepts byuncovering their different culture/history/contemporaneity. It is a journey to revisit the dance that Jee-Ae Lim was educated in, in order to unfold the complexity of body movements between traditional andmodern notions and to re-situate the retrospective body images on today’s stage.

In conjunction with this event there's also a lecture from Okju Son.


10 years in 1 minute – Still Moving is a production of K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg and is funded by the Hamburg Cultural Foundation and Arts Council Korea. It is the first part of a trilogy, realized in coproduction with LIG Arts Foundation and Festival/Tokyo. The trilogy coproduction is organized by Festival Bo:m.
