Workshop with Oh-Kyung

Oh-Kyung Jang is a South Korean interdisciplinary artist with a background in dance. This autumn she in Trondheim for several weeks this autumn in connection with our interdisciplinary residency collaboration with Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV).

On Thursday 24th of October, she invites dance and movement enthusiasts to a workshop including a work in progress showing of her project Yearning to be Unborn in our studio at Svartlamon.

My project delves into somatic identity and its connection with the environment. In this workshop, I will introduce my movement research on ‘prolonged-movement,’ designed to disrupt conventional perceptions of time. This research incorporates everyday motions performed in slow motion while completing routine tasks. The workshop will be followed by a showing of my current work-in-progress.
