Eun-Me Ahn Dance Company Dragons

Avant-garde South Korean choreographer Eun-Me Ahn’s joyful riot of dance, music and non-stop movement brings together modern and traditional dance styles from across Asia. Whilst dragons are feared in the West, in Asia they represent lightness, joy and optimism. Pioneering choreographer Eun-Me Ahn’s latest extravagant production sees her extraordinary company of dancers interacting on stage with stunning projections of five inspiring young performers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan. Taeseok Lee’s vivid and colourful projections bring forests and clouded skies to life and an evocative soundtrack from Jang Young-Gyu seamlessly blends contemporary pop and electronic with a traditional score. Eun-Me Ahn is one of the most important artists in South Korea. Her dance company has performed at 11 major international festivals, including the 2002 FIFA world cup in South Korea. Dragons sees her connecting with Asia’s next generation of talent. Post show talk- 18 Mar
