Listen "Korean Dance Has Always Been Contemporary — On Noori with DaEun Jung"
Episode Synopsis
Today we’re joined by LMU dance student Povi Martinez and Los Angeles based choreographer and dancer DaEun Jung to discuss Jung’s recent work, “Noori,” which premiered at LA Dance Project in November 2023. Together we unpack how DaEun integrates Korean folk dance into her work and the ways she transmutes those rhythms, movements and images into the LA context. We also learn about the layers of nuance and meaning embedded in everything from the costumes to the reviews of Noori. And we hear about Noori’s upcoming 2024 tour!
