EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF LIVE PERFORMANCE

INVERSE 2024 is a four-day performance art festival presented by the Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Employing liveness, experimentation, and radical approaches to the important issues of our moment, the festival features more than 45 artists and projects who are in constant interrogation of material, form, and gesture to offer new ideas and perspectives on how we experience the world.

DaEun Jung | HONJA NORRI

Duration: 20 minutes

HONJA NORRI summons multilayered movement roots embedded in the artist’s bicultural body on a relentless rhythmic cycle. Continuously shape-shifting while defining each moment, this solo dance fast-forwards the thousand-year codification process of classical Korean dance idioms, pedestrianizes the stylized movements back to Jung’s (ancestors’) everyday actions, invites postmodern kinesis, and ultimately takes her to somatic ecstasy.

DaEun Jung is a Korean-born dancer-choreographer currently based in Los Angeles. She interlaces forms, principles, and methods of her ancestral and contemporary performance practices within her self-constructed system. Jung’s work has been supported by Los Angeles Performance Practice, REDCAT, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Korea Foundation, New England Foundation for the Arts, and New Music USA as well as residencies including L.A. Dance Project, Loghaven Artist Residency, and Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography.
