Body-Go-Round

Amu

Body-Go-Round: round 1 is a mixed reality performance that explores the cyclic transformation of water—melting, flowing, evaporating—as a metaphor for life’s continuous becoming and dissolution. Rooted in the concept of wonhyung(a Korean term connoting circularity, origin, and archetype), the work invites the body to embody water’s rhythm and material transitions. Through a delicate interplay of choreography, projection mapping, and micro-sensing technology, the performance creates an immersive ecology where the dancer’s body and environmental elements are deeply interlinked.

The motion of a single falling droplet, the resonance of breath, and the shifting states of matter all converge to evoke a sensorial landscape in which no element moves alone. As a hybrid of movement research and media art, Body-Go-Round challenges the boundaries of visibility, bringing microscopic gestures to the surface and recontextualizing them as forces of nature. The melting of a suspended ice block becomes both a temporal score and a visual metaphor. The choreography does not depict water—it becomes water: adapting, dispersing, and reforming. The work refrains from offering fixed narratives. Instead, it generates a space of experience, where the viewer is drawn into the subtle logic of cycles—birth and return, absence and emergence. Body-Go-Round is not simply about water, but about how a body, through attentive presence, may access the unspoken rhythms of life and time.
