Ambiguous Dance Company: Rhythm of Human

Korean dance sensations Ambiguous Dance Company return to The Coronet Theatre following last year’s sold-out Body Concert with the UK premiere of their award-winning piece Rhythm of Human.

Rhythm of Human follows a modern Korean man who fights to break free from societal expectations and norms. The dancers blend genres and defy all preconceptions to present a fresh, exciting and electric evening of dance. The performance shows us that dance is not just for dancers; we all have an inner rhythm that we need to express.

Ambiguous gained global recognition through their collaboration with pop sensation Coldplay, their wildly popular “Tiger is Coming” video which achieved over 600 million views on YouTube, as well as their collaborations with Gucci and BMW, reinforcing their status as one the country’s most prominent collectives. Founded by choreographer Boram Kim and dancer Kyeongmin Jang in 2008, the name of the group perfectly describes the “undefinable” characteristics of their genre-defying dance.

Creatives:

Choreography: Boram Kim
Dancers: Hak Lee, Kyeongmin Jang, Kyun Ahn, Sihan Park, Sungtae Jung
Stage Manager: Sanghoon Kim
Producer: HeeJin Lee
Lighting Director: Daedoo Bae
Sound Director: Hyungrok An

Boram Kim entered into the field of contemporary dance unconventionally. Working as a back-up dancer for 10 years, he began to wonder about how dance speaks to the audience, and began to develop his own choreography. To Kim, creating dance works flushes out uncertainties ingrained within him. In the process of creating, answers to these uncertainties are revealed.
