Synopsis

How much can be relayed to the audience with only the body? We attempt to communicate with the audience through our "ambiguous dance." If we are successful, the performance will be in a state of flux. Body Concert aims to thrill.

Body Concert was created in 2010. In the process of creation, Artistic Director KIM, Bo-ram focused on defining the essence of Ambiguous Dance Company's own movements. Body Concert premiered at the Critics' Choice Awards in 2010 and won Best Performance Award at the Seoul Performing Arts Festival in the same year. Ambiguous Dance Company has gone on to receive attention in the contemporary dance scene in Seoul. Body Concert was also performed at the 2012 International Modern Dance Festival and the 2015 ASAC Body Language Festival.

Review

A masterpiece with the potential to set in motion a Korean Wave in contemporary dance
The most notable feature of Body Concert is that the piece contains ten chapters with different kind of music and dance, but remains a seamless procession of wonderful short dance pieces. The thought flashes across my mind that a Korean Wave is on the horizon for contemporary dance."
- Kang Il-Jung, Yonhap News (Korea), May 25, 2012
