Hea Min Jung: Code Of Engagement

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

Mesmerising PERFORMANCE AND ART installation FROM BERLIN

Berlin based Korean artist Hea Min Jung creates an absorbing and extraordinary immersive performance, weaving a shifting environment of movement, sculpture, and sound.

Jung liberates the audience from the conventions of a sit-down performance, encouraging them to engage with her art as they wish within one of the most atmospheric buildings in London. Each night is different as she responds to the energies, actions and flow of the audience.

Using latex sculptures, elastic lines, Shamanic bells and layered sound, Jung is inspired by the playful rubber-band games of her childhood and early experiences of loss. Her elegant choreography and deep connection with the audience transforms simple gestures into a journey through childhood to maturity.

What might have seemed eerie or strange in other contexts was executed with such precision that it transcended any discomfort, becoming utterly impressive and beautiful.”

Created in collaboration with sound artist James Whipple (M.E.S.H.) and visual artist Nagi Gianni, code of engagement unfolds as a living ritual: intimate, unsettling, and profoundly human.

Born in Seoul, Hea Min Jung started dancing at the age of 5 and graduated in Contemporary Dance from The Korean National University of Art, combining training in classical ballet, Korean traditional dance with contemporary dance.
