It's been a while.....

 

April 5th 2023 

As part of the movement Momm project we had a meeting yesterday with the Swiss embassy. This year marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between south Korean and Switzerland. One of our dancers in the project is from Switzerland and was speaking to the cultural affairs officer about possibly performing for one of their events and using their embassy for a video location. 

 

This would be a very exciting project to be a part of, I especially love the idea of filming within their embassy. The Swiss embassy in Seoul is named the Swiss Hanok. Hanok is the traditional style house in South Korea. Architecturally, it brings together the old and modern of both Korean and Swiss cultures and this perfectly mimics what we are trying to achieve with Movement Momm. 

A big vision for our project is bringing different art forms together in one place. The architecture alone is a masterpiece, but the Swiss embassy also works a lot with contemporary artists. I believe this could be a great opportunity, not only to film in a spectacular location, but also work closely with some of these arts to bring a multimedia project to life.

As part of my project, I’m looking at how social media can bring the art form to new, more diverse audience. Projects like this are exactly what I believe is needed in the arts these days. New creative, multimedia performances that will attract many different people who enjoy different art forms. 

I hope this project is something that will take off soon, so that I can be a part of it as a dancer as well.
