Weeks have flown by, one busy 12 or 16 hour day into the next, it’s hard to know the day of the week, let alone the date. Final rehearsals of both pieces, a press review and first performances are behind us. The theatres are magnificient: modern, new, huge, well-equipped and the dancers and the work looks fantastic on them. Both performances at the Arko Theatre for the Seoul Performing Arts Festival were well attended and the show has been well received. About 400+ people each night at Arco. We met a Korean dance critic who was also a dance history professor; his private collection of some 70,000 recordings that he has made of pieces he has seen is probably the world’s largest private dance archive. Now we are part of it. We are writing this en route to our technical rehearsal for tonight’s performance at Goyang’s Saerasae Digital Theatre. Moments of stillness are few. When we commented to Mr. Choi, the NOW Dance Company lighting designer, that we will have 3 busy days ahead his reply, “ Not busy, it’s the Korean way”.
