Taking the body living in the world and newly writing/using it on stage
Korea National Contemporary Dance Company’s much anticipated piece returns as repertoire: Writing Using, choreographed by Ahn Aesoon
With its premiere in 2022, Writing Using received attention with the dancers’ unique and explosive movements, variations of stage devices, and excellent mise-en-scene on stage. It returns in 2023 as part of KNCDC’s repertoire, tracing the process of how the personal history, memory, imagery, and environment accumulated in the body individualize common movements. The bodily gesture collected in universal life construct movements with new textures as they go through the dancers’ bodies.
Choreographer Ahn Aesoon, who served as the artistic director of KNCDC from 2013 to 2016, has presented sensual works based on contemporary themes, such as Bulssang, Already Not Yet, and Zero One Dimension. Writing Using casts questions on how we view the body in an environment that changes the modus operandi of the body. How does the world created by recorded bodies relate and communicate with the real world? Ahn Aesoon re-edits bodies performing daily movements and bodies containing the traces of memories and emotions, calling to the stage the messages of the body that travels across time and space.
