Choreographer Sam Kim: FEAR IN PORCELAIN

FEAR IN PORCELAIN (working title), a solo by choreographer Sam Kim, is another work in a series of works about private rites exposed by powerful women. FEAR IN PORCELAIN acknowledges the humiliation and narcissism the choreographer associates with the solo form, and conflates sexual restraint with dance restraint. Performed by Sam Kim with special guest appearances by Tess Dworman and others, lighting design by Ben Demarest and outside eye by Jeanine Durning.

Since 2002, Sam Kim has created several, long works presented as seasons in NYC: "Darling" (Performance Space 122, 2009), "dumb dumb bunny" (The Kitchen, 2007), "Cult" (Dance Theater Workshop, 2007), "AVATAR" (Mulberry St Theater, 2006), "Nobody Understands Me" (Dance Theater Workshop, 2004), "Placid Baby" (Performance Space 122, 2003) and "Valentine" (Danspace Project at St. Mark's Church, 2002). Kim has also created several shorter works since 1997.

Kim's work has been presented and commissioned by The Kitchen, New York Live Arts, Dance Theater Workshop, Performance Space 122 and Danspace Project multiple times, in addition to other progressive venues such as Highways Performance Space (Los Angeles), Studio 303 (Montréal), the Unknown Theater (Los Angeles), Bryant Lake Bowl Theater (Minneapolis), the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Galapagos Art and Performance Space and Movement Research, among many others.
