SOLILOQUENCE
Soliloquence is a work exploring the Meeting of East and West. It is meant to be performed live with this multimedia film projected as part of the performance using dancers and a Gayageum player, although additional performers could be added. It should have an improvisational character that serves as counterpoint to the structure of the film.
Professor Kim Myung-sook has provided videography of her performances and choreography with her Dance company, Nulhui Dance Company of Seoul Korea. Using materials from Nulhui Traditional Korean Dances and Contemporary Creative Dance, John Gilbert has created a movie inspired by the Gayageum performance by Haerina Park of Kae-Ok Kim’s “The Dream of Arang”. The version included here have the Gayageum with the movie and computer score. It was performed as part of Songs of Summer Solstice with live performances of a dancer and Gayageum.
