Andersen's Gaze

LEE Kyung-ok has stubbornly created her own world of dance with the theme of "dance fairy tales for adults." She does not concern herself with the fact that the majority of Korean dance troupes operate as university alumni troupes. Like an independence activist, she works by assembling freelance dancers herself. Of course, it cannot be ignored that the colors of LEE's dance are clear, as the dancers who have worked with her for nearly ten years have not left her dance. But if the dancers she has prized leave for personal reasons, she must resolutely train another new dancer. Arming someone with LEE Kyung-ok's dance is inevitably an exhausting endeavor. _ RYU In-wha, Dance Critic
