The Kwan-Gyu Lim Dance Company, known for staging creative and contemporary performances that have their roots in Korean traditional culture, presents Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, on Friday, August 26, 2011, 8:30pm at the Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.
The performance, led by Chief Executive Artistic Director and Choreographer, Kwan-Gyu Lim, expresses the distinct significance of each season: the lonesome coldness of Winter, the bright prosperity of Spring, the warm ambiance of Summer and the liveliness of Autumn.
The 25-member Kwan-Gyu Lim Dance Company uses modern production techniques and contemporary musical influences to introduce centuries-old Korean dance to new audiences.
Kwan-Gyu Lim Dance Company focuses on keeping Korean traditional dance alive by modernizing its appeal, not only to garner a broader audience, but to attract the next generation of dancers. By showcasing such traditional dance as the TaePyeongMu (Blessing peace dance), Hallyangmu (Dance of young Noblemen), Fan Dance and Salpuri (wash away evil spirits), which are rarely performed today, the traditional culture and heritage of Korea will be preserved.
The Ford Amphitheatre is located at 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, in Hollywood just off the 101 Hollywood Freeway across from the Hollywood Bowl and south of Universal Studios. The grounds open two hours before show time for picnicking.
