My Items

🥇 1st Prize & FACP Members' Choice - Non-Music , 2025 Clare C. & Friends Fellowship A Word from the Producer Since 2021, I have been collaborating with Théâtre des Enfants Terribles, co-producing several small- to medium-scale performances including One day with Death and HEY! YOU. The company is known for its concise yet humorous physical storytelling, adept at guiding intergenerational audiences to discover personal emotional connections beneath playful and whimsical surfaces. In HEY! YOU, the creative team tells the story of a musician’s journey — a metaphor for the challenges we all face in growing up. It asks: when our purest, earliest form of love begins to shift under the weight of reality and external pressures, can we find a new way to love again? HEY! YOU transcends language. With inventive live music and deconstructed instrument design, the performance offers a surprising and original sonic experience — an unseen landscape of sound. Both adults and children will find themselves drawn into a space where humor, curiosity, and the spirit of artistic playfulness are shared with sincerity. About Project A-Lo loves to share music. He and his best friend ‘Cello’ travel everywhere and share beautiful melodies to everyone they meet. One day, during a concert, the sound of Cello suddenly became very strange. A-Lo tried to make a normal sound, but no matter how he tried it, Cello made an odd and unpleasant sound. To make matters worse—Cello got angry! Cello turned into something A-Lo had never seen before. Amid a whirlwind of dizzying chaos, A-Lo entered a mysterious space that was strange, yet somewhat familiar... Form & Feature A Universal Language: Variations on “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" Deconstructing the Instrument Light and Shadow Objects and Materials Feedback from Audiences ★ The performance was filled with rich variations, and the transformations of the cello's diverse expressions were truly impressive. I love the image of the drifting sheet music so much. I believe that anyone who has ever learned an instrument or studied music, whether as a child or an adult, will surely resonate through the performance.

🌏 Sustainable Creativity Prize - 2025 Clare C. & Friends Fellowship About Project This work explores the theatre as a micro-ecological system built by bodies, technologies, and audiences. It asks: Before everything disappears, can we still resonate here? Inspired by the Gaia Hypothesis, which views Earth as a co-adaptive, self-regulating organism, the performance frames each bodily action as part of a larger, shared energy system. Led by three creators from choreography, sound, and stage installation, the project dissolves traditional artistic boundaries. Instead, movement, sound, and spatial construction become energy-generating acts. We do not depict the absence of power—we produce it. Lights are lit, sounds are made, and the stage is assembled through labor. The performance begins in darkness, like entering a cave, and unfolds only as energy is created in real-time. Our team has developed a piezoelectric lighting system using piezo components and LED modules. Piezoelectricity is a physical phenomenon where specific crystals (like quartz or ceramics) generate small voltages under pressure or impact. Commonly used in sensors and micro-energy devices, this principle is reimagined here as a theatrical energy source. When performers strike or press on devices and instruments, the piezo materials convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, triggering LED lights. Reflective structures amplify the dim light. This system also functions within musical instruments, forming feedback loops of motion, sound, and light. Hand-crank generators supplement the system for sustained or high-intensity light outputs, offering flexible and expressive energy control.

🥉 3rd Prize - Music, 2025 Clare C. & Friends Fellowship About Project “Carnival of Endangered Animals” is a contemporary ecological chamber music project reimagining Camille Saint-Saëns’ 1886 classic. Inspired by both environmental urgency and the power of musical storytelling, this work replaces the original's light-hearted caricatures with sonic portraits that reflect today’s climate and extinction realities. Each movement represents an endangered species or a vanishing cultural identity, expressed entirely through acoustic chamber instruments. The work emphasizes sound over image, portraying presence, identity, and ecological tension through extended techniques, timbral layering, and symbolic transformation of known musical themes. Importantly, this work reflects how the climate crisis changes the very language of classical music. Shifts in rhythm, harmony, and structure mirror changing seasons, disrupted ecologies, and collective anxiety. In this way, musical form itself becomes an ecological statement. About The Collab Founded in July 2022 by pianist Jihye Yoo and flutist Jiyeon Seo, The Collab is an interdisciplinary music collective based in Incheon, South Korea. The group was initiated by classically trained artists—many of them parents—seeking to create ecologically and socially conscious performances.

🥇 1st Prize - Music, 2025 Clare C. & Friends Fellowship Performance Overview "Thus I Died in a Dream: 3 Rooms" is a groundbreaking 70-minute neo-traditional multidisciplinary performance that reimagines death as a transformative journey toward new beginnings. Drawing from Buddhist and Taoist concepts of reincarnation and Korean Han (恨) culture, this immersive experience weaves Eastern interpretations of dreams as gateways to spiritual awakening through three symbolic spaces representing the liminal journey between life and death. Maegandang's contemporary reinterpretation creates an unprecedented artistic landscape by musically recreating afterlife realms from diverse cultural traditions—Korean shamanic concepts, Greek Elysium, medieval European Cockaigne, Nordic Valhalla, and Jeju's Ieodo island. This revolutionary approach transforms traditional Korean instruments into vehicles for exploring universal themes of mortality, creating a truly global artistic language that establishes an entirely new paradigm for international traditional arts engagement.

Cultural Exchange: Facilitate meaningful dialogue between Asian traditional arts communities C.
