Mina Yoo from South Korea conveys messages intuitively through minimalistic production and is seen as leading the trend by breaking down the boundaries between life and art. Mui Cheuk Yin is a solo artist representing the Hong Kong dance scene. Yamada Setsuko from Japan is a pioneer of Japanese contemporary dance who has presented works with a centripetal and delicate form. Solo Project presented by these three artists consists of three 30-minute performances, each by a single performer. The worlds of three choreographers, each of whom has been steadily active in their own countries with a distinctive choreographic language, unfold on stage through the body of a single dancer.

  An unexpected event with resonance.
An event is not created.
 It is something you encounter.

Jung Logyee, Here I amㅣChoreographer Yamana SetsukoㅣDancer Jung Logyee
  “Choreographing a solo dance begins with a conversation.” I first sent these words to Jung Logyee.

To be called by someone.
To call someone’s name.
With what kind of voice?
With what kind of gesture?

Some names are murmured in silence.
Like feathers scattering in the sky,
like petals falling to the ground,
like a single speck of ash crawling over a scorched land,
names overflow in this world once again today.
Leaning on this one body as my only refuge,

I am, here, now.

 
 ChoreographerㅣYamada Setsuko
 Yamada Setsuko began dancing in 1971 while studying theater at Meiji University, joining the Butoh research group Tenshi-kan, where she trained in improvisational dance until 1980. As a pioneer of contemporary dance in Japan, she has performed extensively not only in Japan but also internationally, beginning with the Avignon and Barcelona Festivals in 1983, and later in major cities such as Seoul, New York, Paris, London, and Moscow. After her first performance in Korea in 1986 at the invitation of Korean modern dancer Kim Maeja, she has continued fostering exchanges with Korea. In 1989, she founded the dance company BIWAKEI and created works such as <Flying Girl> and <Love’s Signature Tune>.
