Momentum in space
Momentum in Space consists of two distinct components. The first segment focuses on acrobatic skills, floorwork techniques, Tae Kwon Do, and traditional Korean dance movements, emphasising effective management of center of gravity. Each movement is thoughtfully arranged to evolve into a variety of choreographies that showcase different tempos and styles, reflecting the distinctive approach of choreographer Hoyoung Im. The second segment of Momentum in Space is designed for performing artists from diverse backgrounds. Under the guidance of Hoyoung Im— an award-winning actor, film director, professional dancer, and music composer, with over a decade of outstanding experience— participants will gain foundational knowledge in acting, explore innovative methodologies for multidisciplinary performance, enhance their musicality, and learn to develop choreography inspired by textual interpretations.
