[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra (Artistic Director Ryu Hyung-sun) announced on the 9th that from July to December, it will perform the 2021 Moving Gamugakta ‘Kkakji Son Gugak’ for 20 elementary and middle schools in the Jeonnam region.


The Moving Gamugakta ‘Kkakji Son Gugak’ performance is a collaborative project between the Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra and the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education, visiting elementary and middle schools in areas lacking cultural and artistic education infrastructure to provide Gugak performances and various experiential programs.


Under the banner of ‘Gugak and Holding Hands (Kkakji Son),’ the program presents diverse and high-quality Gugak performances tailored to students’ perspectives beyond the scale of traditional stages, including Pansori, Gugak children’s songs, traditional dance, and percussion ensembles. It also offers experiential sessions to learn traditional dances and performances that are usually hard to encounter, such as Ganggangsullae dance, Beorna, and Jukbangul play.


Ryu Hyung-sun, Artistic Director of the Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra, said, “For children growing up in any environment, enjoying artistic value is another form of right. Through holding hands with Gugak, I hope this becomes a precious first encounter that makes our music more familiar and fosters pride in our culture.”



Meanwhile, starting with Gury Middleong Elementary School on the 1st, the Moving Gamugakta ‘Kkakji Son Gugak’ plans to continue performances by visiting 20 schools in the Jeonnam region within this year, including Boseong Boknae Middle School, Jangseong Baegam Middle School, Yeongam Gurim Middle School, and Sinan Imja Elementary School.
