Eternal NOW by WHITE WAVE Dance at Asia Culture Center:
WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company presented Eternal NOW Multi-Media Dance/Theater Piece at the Asia Culture Center (ACC), in Gwangju, Korea.
Revealing secret longings through utterly human stories, choreographer Young Soon Kim and WHITE WAVE Dance present Eternal NOW. Kim, whose work has been hailed for its exhilarating, visually stunning, and emotionally rich phrases and textures, presents this expression of movement that perpetually affirms the now, in space and time, as it reveals the inner landscape of human emotion. The result is a compelling, deeply sensual work that exemplifies the remarkable versatility of its performers and the choreographic virtuosity of its maker. Eternal NOW is the fourth and final chapter of the Here NOW series which Kim conceived and began creating in 2010.
“Eternal NOW” premiered in 2014 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
