What would the Pansori The Tale of the Hare look like in the language of movement? Winner of the 'Critics' Choice Young Choreographer Award 2008. A story is added to a series of movements that draw on broken-up sounds |
Interpreting the traditional Korean Pansori 'Sugoongga' into a language of movement!
Selected as the Best Choreography by the Critics in 2008 at the 11th Young Dancers Collection hosted by the Dance Forum and nominated for the Grand Prix at the 1st Korea Dance Awards, this piece has been acclaimed for having set a new standard and direction in creative dance in Korea today.
Choreographic Principles of [DA•TUM]
* Collaboration between Dance (movement), Pansori (plot), and Speakers (music space)
: To create a multi-genre, modern 'Sugoongga'.
* Space effect of sound
: To create greater spatial quality of sound by arranging speakers vertically into two layers of top and bottom
* Symbolic arrangement of movement (minimalistic influence)
: Pansori contains lines that help the audience gain an understanding of the plot. The choreography should symbolize the plot to create both optical and auditory effects.
* Reflect the absurdity of modern society
: Apply elements of parody contained in 'Sugoongga' to the choreography to establish a caricature.
* Roles that reflect the double faces of animals (rabbit, tortoise, tiger etc.) and humans
: Express the character of the animals in the story through personification with wit and humor.

Da•tum has interpreted the 'Argument in front of the King' from the Pansori 'Sogoongga'. It seeks to simplify Pansori elements or music with lines for better understanding by the audience. Symbolic movements are visualized to create a unique choreographic method.
Applying the inherent elements of parody from 'Sogoongga' onto the piece compounds reality and wit. It is a symbolic work that compares human behavioral patterns and instincts with those of animals. Dance (movements), Pansori (plot) and speakers (music space) are interconnected to lead to the creation of a new genre.
