Event Information
Description
Noree Performing Arts Celebrates 5th Annual Festival
Ga・Mu 2018
Thursday May 17, 2018, 8PM at The Ailey Citygroup Theatre
Original, Mythical and Mystical Music & Dance
The Korean people use the word Ga-Mu to refer to both song (Ga) and dance (Mu). The Korean folk culture has always treated music and dance as inseparable from each other, as a unified form of arts. The idea of the integration of music and dance that is embedded in the word Ga-Mu aligns closely with Noree's mission, which is to create works that combine the elements of both dance and music and to communicate with the audience through such total art works. Noree Performing Arts invites its audiences to look into the insights, expressions, and interpretations of the artists who reside with them in the same time and space—today’s New York City.
