DaEun Jung & Ensemble
Open Rehearsal of Earthian Fold Dance (excerpts)
Presented as part of D+R Residency (free)

Earthian Folk Dance (EFD) is a communal dance activity created and performed by Earthians. EFD investigates contemporary tactics of crafting step patterns, folk moves, and body-generated rhythmic sounds. EFD seeks for movement tasks that require a collective effort and instantaneous decision making which generate participants’ shared kinesthetic exhilaration. Through the medium of group dance, EFD examines compositional strategies to weave simple steps/moves into a complex choreography which can potentially take the collective bodies to virtuosity. EFD challenges the hyper-individuality of post-modern/contemporary choreography and hyper- ideological representations of traditional folk dances, questioning the cultural and somatic identity of each participant.
