PROGRAM

Seungmu - Buddhist dance

Seungmu, which has been designated as Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 27, is a representative Korean folk dance. Originating from the dances of monks at temples, it has been transformed by professional dancers into a unique dance with an artistic form. It is rated to have higher artistic than any other folk dance, and Seong-jun Han has completed it as performance work.

Hakchum - Harmony of natural beauty and artistry

Hakchum (crane dance) is a dance in which the dancer puts on a mask of a crane and dances to glorify the king, and was performed at court ceremonies since Goryeo dynasty (918-1392). Hak (crane) is a welcome bird that was considered a symbol of longevity, and Hakchum was performed at court banquets or narye ceremonies to expel demons.

Taepyeongmu - dance wishing for a reign of prosperity

Taepyeonmu, which is the dance that Seong-jun Han loved the most, is a newly created dance that means that "the queen or king is dancing personally to wish for the happiness of Royal family and a reign of prosperity". Although it was created considering a queen at court, it is regarded as a folk dance, not a court dance. It is a cheerful dance with rural tones from Gyeonggi dance music and the rhythm of jing in 10 beats.
