2026-4

  • During the residency at forever gallery, I will translate a past live performance into a participatory performance that audiences can receive as a letter and experience in their homes, or at any time and place of their choosing. The project asks how performance can expand—becoming more porous and fragile—and seep into people’s everyday lives. The project carries a desire to share performance across dispersed spaces and uneven temporalities, connecting it to discussions of accessibility, mobility, and crip time.

  • From March to May I will be hosting the project “Just Dance Club” at the Korea National University of Arts. Just Dance Club is open to dancers and non-dancers outside of the university.

Among others, we will explore movement and choreography connected to ideas of fragility, dependency, distribution of exhaustion, self-regulation of stress and anxiety.
