WHITE WAVE will be hosting and producing the COOL NY 2011 DANCE FESTIVAL (CNYDF), celebrating the company’s annual winter dance extravaganza of cutting-edge choreography. CNYDF features both young luminaries and well-known ensembles, bringing together a wide spectrum of talents from all across the United States and beyond into the New York City spotlight.
This year’s CNYDF includes performances by the stunning WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company as well as Hyonok Kim Dance Art from Daegu, Korea. Young Soon Kim’s So Long for Now (2010), is a collaboration with the composers Sam Crawford, Zeb Gould & Allen Won. Deeply invested in the meticulous craft of the body’s limitless capacity for expression, So Long for Now achieves both the dynamic & exhilarating forces and sculptural beauty of human nature. Hyonok Kim’s piece Night Song was inspired by the calligraphic thrust, abstract curved line, and Chi power of the renowned painter Jeong Jum Shik.
Tickets: CNYDF Opening Night-$30; all other performances are free of charge. To purchase tickets, contact SmartTix at 212-868-4444 or visit www.whitewavedance.com
