Ambiguous Dance Company: Rhythm Of Human

(This is a past event and is no longer running)

DANCE

Due to exceptional demand, we have released a limited number of standing tickets for the performance on 15 Sep. Click here to book.

 

Korean dance sensations Ambiguous Dance Company return to The Coronet Theatre following last year’s sold-out Body Concert with the UK premiere of their award-winning piece Rhythm of Human.

Rhythm of Human follows a modern Korean man who fights to break free from societal expectations and norms. The dancers blend genres and defy all preconceptions to present a fresh, exciting and electric evening of dance. The performance shows us that dance is not just for dancers; we all have an inner rhythm that we need to express.

Ambiguous gained global recognition through their collaboration with pop sensation Coldplay, their wildly popular “Tiger is Coming” video which achieved over 600 million views on YouTube, as well as their collaborations with Gucci and BMW, reinforcing their status as one the country’s most prominent collectives. Founded by choreographer Boram Kim and dancer Kyeongmin Jang in 2008, the name of the group perfectly describes the “undefinable” characteristics of their genre-defying dance.

Additional Information

AMBIGUOUS DANCE COMPANY

Ambiguous Dance Company was founded by choreographer Boram Kim and dancer Kyeongmin Jang in 2008. The name of the group describes the “undefinable and ambiguous” characteristics of their dance style. Escaping from genres and preconceptions, the group expresses what is in their hearts through movement and music. Rather than focusing on delivering an artistic message or meaning, they intend to convey the true nature and purity of humanity, believing that the bodily expression of music and dance form the most accurate and truest language.

 

BORAM KIM

Born in Korea, Boram Kim entered into the field of contemporary dance unconventionally. Working as a back-up dancer for 10 years, he began to wonder about how dance speaks to the audience, and with passion and ambition, he began to develop his own choreography.

Kim established his own dance company called “Ambiguous Dance Company” in 2007. Since its formation, he has created three works a year on average. To Kim, creating dance works flushes out uncertainties ingrained within him. In the process of creating, stories and answers to these uncertainties are existentially and inherently revealed. Kim begins this process by choosing music.  When interpreting the music, movements begin to take form in his mind, intertwining with melodies and rhythms, like a shuttle weaving across a loom.

In Kim’s work, he seeks to return to the core of music and dance: pursuing sound before music itself and body movement before dance, through which one can find distinct musical interpretation. Boram Kim hopes to convey intimate communication, harmonising music and dance.
