On December 26 at 7:30 PM, the Byun Seung-hee Korean Dance Research Group will stage a year-end program, “Traces of Dance, Marks of Life,” at Daegu Culture and Arts Center Bisul Hall. Rather than simply reenacting tradition, the performance treats Korean dance as a record of life, tracing personal and artistic journeys to highlight the aesthetics and spirit of Korean dance. Commentary will be provided by dance critic Yang Jong-seung to help audience understanding. Dancers from the research group will join regional performers from DancePeople (D＆Soul) to present diverse bodies and interpretations that map the current flow of Korean dance. Traditional musicians—janggu (Korean hourglass drum), daegeum (bamboo transverse flute), geomungo (zither), haegeum (two-stringed fiddle), percussion, ajaeng (bowed zither), and piri/taepyeongso (double-reed instruments)—will accompany the choreography, emphasizing the inseparability of dance and music in traditional performance. Byun Seung-hee, a longtime Daegu-based artist and educator devoted to preserving and creating Korean dance, frames the show as both a reflection on his career and a conversation about passing tradition to the next generation. The concert highlights the strength of regional traditional arts outside the Seoul center. Tickets are 20,000 KRW; recommended for ages elementary school and up. For inquiries: 010-8311-0178.
