Founded in 2013 by choreographer Soon-ho Park, Bereishit is a Seoul-based dance troupe that approaches the Korean traditional culture from a contemporary view – keeping the fundamental value of things, as opposed to simply borrowing or transforming them. The work also explores the issues of identity and transformation and delves into multimedia, street dance, community dance work and real time interactive demonstration. It displays an amazing sensitivity towards space and rhythms and its performances are always delivered with kinesthetic clarity and power.The Balance and Imbalance juxtaposes the dancers alongside drummers and singers of the traditional Korean storytelling genre called Pansori. Sport meets dance in the rigorous male duet Bow, inspired by the Korean tradition of archery.
