Oh dear, it’s over.
Crossing Of Movements Project turned out to be quite the success. We had about 100 people crammed into the various spaces in the Total Art Museum, which made for an interesting time.
Stayed out late last night, having a yarn, you know.
But now, we are going to get breakfast.

It’s Over… (COMP)
May 29, 2009
Things that went wrong today:
This is the day before our performance of the Modern Dance Festival Showcase is scheduled to open.

Been Busy…

But for now, Vegemite on toast is in order I think.

Weekend In The Mountains
We spent this weekend at Songnam Stars Valley.
We were told that this weekend we would be participating in an ‘improvised performance’, and we were not told much more than that.
It turns out that Songnam Stars Valley is an observatory in the mountains, about 40 minutes to the north of Seoul. The observatory is [...]

Performance Art at Kookmin Dae
Today I accompanied Si Jae to assist in her Performance Art Class at Kookmin University (Kookmin Daehakyo).
I have never visited the mountainous northern suburbs of Seoul. The university is situated in Songbuk-Gu, a very affluent neighborhood that is reached by driving past the House with the Blue Roof Tiles, through Sam Cheong Dong (one of my favorite parts [...]
