Starting December 1st, 2021, haegeum performer/composer Jeonghyeon Joo presents new work under the theme of The Art of Bowing every month until May 2022. Featured works include her solo compositions and collaborative works with composers, performers, and filmmakers based in Los Angeles and Seoul. Each of the six chapters will consist of an audiovisual piece, performance recording, or writing.

The Art of Bowing explores aesthetics and the world beyond the action of bowing, questioning what is beyond the body, sound, and movement of herself and her instrument. It first draws the aesthetic meaning of the bowing itself by putting a microscopic lens to the physicality of the haegeum and the performing body. It then captures the moment of connection and disconnection between them and expands its perspective to the environment and socio-cultural context surrounding the haegeum and body.

The Art of Bowing is made possible through the generous support from the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture.

Deepest thanks to dear collaborators; Sam Wells, Max Harper, Tim Feeney, Sangbin Patrick Rhie, Ulrich Krieger, and Yoona Kim.

In a radical reimagining of the seminal film, director Genevieve Fowler creates a liminal memory space in which lineage, histories, and the personal lens expand, inform, and liberate the powerful women of Bergman’s world. Collaging the film’s text and visual narrative with the performers’ individual experience, the work offers an exploratory space, expanding previous perceptions of the seminal film.

With original composition by renowned haegeum performer and composer Jeonghyeon Joo, this international collaboration brings the viewer into a dreamlike environment through deep listening, collage, and the performers’ individual experiences.

Produced by CalArts Center for New Performance.

Cries and Whispers was made possible through funding by Arts Council Korea.
Cries and Whispers is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

Producers’ Note
For those who have trained in classical performance practice, expertise often comes with the weight of history and tradition filled with expectations and assumptions about what is appropriate and good.
How might we honor and build upon our traditional training as performers and composers without being weighed down by it? How do we exercise these cultivated skills while exorcising ourselves of the burdensome expectations that inhibit exploration and creativity?
This series of guided, improvised duets explores a series of contrasting dualities (male/female, voice/instrument, east/west, traditional/experimental) in hopes of finding hidden third ways between and beyond such binaries.
