The annual Festival of Korean Dance is returning to the UK for its sixth year, and for the first time touring nationally including the Warwick Arts Centre on 3 May.

The programme at Warwick Arts Centre includes a triple bill of K:Dance celebrating new Korean Dance from leading choreographers Howool Baek making her UK premiere, which will open at Warwick Arts Centre and Company Siga.

Howeel Baek presents two pieces of work: Foreign Body, a short film about bodies that do not fit within the framework of society are treated as foreign bodies and ultimately rejected, and Did U Hear, a dance interpretation of rapper 2PAC’s poem The rose that grew from concrete. Howool Baek has toured internationally, winning awards in Spain, Germany and Poland. 

From Company SIGA, Rush is about pausing to listen to your own rhythms of your body, and realising that one man’s slow is another man’s rush. For the 2021 Festival, Company SIGA presented a double bill of Equilibrium and ZERO.

Festival of Korean Dance comes to Warwick Arts Centre on 3 May. Tickets are available here.
