We know others by their different names, and vice versa. Each of us has layers of identity beyond our names, such as “someone’s son”, “someone’s husband”, “someone from somewhere”, etc. While various adjectives describe us, have we ever truly lived by our own name? A creative breakthrough of conventional styles, In My Own Name is a thought-provoking work by Cho Inho, a choreographer best known for his modern interpretation of breathing and rhythm in traditional Korean dance. By combining dance, movement and live music performance, the piece will showcase the appeal of contemporary Korean dance to local and international audiences alike.
