From Friday, 26 August to Friday, 9 September, professors Kim Samjin and Jung Jaehyuk of the Department of Choreography in the School of Dance in K-Arts engaged in an exchange program for dance performance production at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. In this program, “Form Within a Form: Echoes and Reverberations,” students of the University of Hawaii at Manoa worked on creating a subscription concert through master classes on choreography arranged by professors Kim and Jung.

Professor Kim passed on original rhythms and styles of traditional Korean dance through the dance piece “Chuljeong: The Battle Against Invisible Fear.” Professor Jung interpreted the Korean sentiment into a form of contemporary dance through the dance work “Hangout.” Through this event, the K-Arts seeks to introduce Korean culture and its value overseas while consolidating a sustainable network for the cooperative exchange of two institutions.
