Kim Boram
Title:“Mistake”
Born in Korea, Kim Boram entered the field of contemporary dance unconventionally.
While working as a back-up dancer for 10 years, he began to wonder about how dance speaks to the audience, so he set out to develop his own choreography. In 2007, Kim Boram established his 〈Ambiguous Dance Company〉. To Kim, choreographing flushes out stories and answers to uncertainties engrained within him that are existentially and inherently revealed. Harrmonizing music and dance, Kim seeks to return to the core of music and dance: pursuing sound before music itself and body movement before dance, in an effort to intimately communicate with the audience.
