A Festival of Korean Dance

Sept 17–24, 2021
The Place, 17 Duke's Road, WC1H 9PY, London, UK

Dance, shut down during the pandemic—or reduced to the flat screen—is finding its way back to three dimensions. A Festival of Korean Dance, now in its fourth edition, brings two programs to The Place, in London. First up is the world premiere of Sum Ing Her’s W.A.Y (re-work), in which the repeated movements of four dancers explore idiosyncrasy and unpredictability. Following is two pieces by Company SIGA, whose name means “little by little.” The double bill includes Zero and Equilibrium—modern, minimalist, and on message. —Ariella Paradise
