Namsangol Hanok Village Selects Three Young Artists as '2020 Young Gugak Leaders'

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] Namsangol Hanok Village Seoul Namsan Gugakdang has selected three young artists to participate in the youth artist traditional-based performance content realization project, '2020 Young Gugak Danjang.'

The main figures are creative choreographer Park Hyun-mi, who creates works that capture the charm and beauty of Korean dance to rediscover and highlight our roots; director Park Hyun-ji, who finds the roots of Korean theater within traditional Korean performance arts and reinterprets them in a modern way; and creator and performer Baek Da-som, who pursues modern and experimental music using loop stations based on traditional Korean instruments and plays daegeum, sogeum, danso, and saenghwang.

'Young Gugak Danjang' is Seoul Namsan Gugakdang's representative youth gugak support project aimed at developing creative and innovative traditional-based performing arts content. It is promoted under the 'Business Agreement for the Revitalization of Namsan Gugakdang' signed between the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the confectionery specialist group Crown Haitai.

The selected artists will undergo a more professional and detailed creative process through creative workshops. Namsangol Hanok Village provides research and development funds and 10 million KRW for showcase production costs, as well as practical support for future artistic activities such as individual visual directing and promotional content production for the artists.

'2020 Young Gugak Danjang' plans to present the results of six months of creative activities to the general audience through a showcase in November.
