Drawing－HA Jihye Body Workshop
Drawing is an improvisation-based movement workshop that explores the unique movement possibilities of each body part and the process of translating rhythm into movement.
Through fragmentation and connection, repetition and variation, accumulation and deconstruction, participants are invited to discover and expand new movement vocabularies hidden within their own bodies. Rather than focusing on results, the workshop emphasizes the process of how movement emerges and transforms.
The workshop begins by awakening the sensory awareness of different body parts and encouraging participants to move beyond habitual movement patterns. Rhythm functions as a central medium through which participants experiment with translating a single rhythm into different physical expressions.
Movement does not remain within the individual body but travels between bodies, generating new possibilities through interaction. Participants will observe, respond to, and be inspired by one another's movement, experiencing the collective flow and shared rhythm created by different bodies in space.
As individual movements overlap and intersect, they gradually form a living "drawing" within the shared space.

Facilitator
HA Jihye
HA Jihye is a choreographer who places human stories at the center of her artistic practice. She approaches choreography not only as a creator but also as a researcher—closely observing and investigating the microscopic, everyday dimensions of life.
Her work moves fluidly across genres, including Korean traditional dance, contemporary dance, and acrobatics. Through a structural analysis of both physical language and musical composition, she constructs a layered choreographic framework where rhythm and dramaturgy coexist. Rhythmic movement is often placed alongside dramatic staging, allowing the ordinary realities of life to unfold with theatrical intensity.
HA Jihye's creations do not seek spectacle alone; rather, they aim for meaningful and sustained dialogue with the audience. By transforming intimate and familiar experiences into embodied narratives, she explores vulnerability, resilience, and the complexity of human existence.
Through dance, she continues her journey toward understanding and expressing the essence of life itself.
