Soon-ho Park Reimagines Traditional Korean Dance for a Worldwide Audience
Drawing from many sources, including street dance and martial arts, Korean dance company Bereishit Dance presents two Mondavi Center premieres: Judo and Balance & Imbalance.
In 2011, Soon-ho Park founded Bereishit Dance Company — a South Korean dance group that connect the forms and themes of specific sports and traditional art genres. Since its founding, Park has presented original choreography based on continuous research on the human body, communication with multinational and multidisciplinary artists, and reinterpretation of traditional art.
“What distinguishes him from others is the way he approaches traditional culture from the contemporary view… He puts focus on keeping the fundamental value of things, not simply borrowing or transforming them.”
— Lee Jongho, Artistic Director of Seoul International Dance Festival.
