MAMI KANG

MAMI KANG - BODY DRIFT, a GREENHOUSE project
6 - 9 July 2022 19.30h at Veem House for Performance
6 July 2022 try-out, 7 July premiere

With the performance Body Drift, choreographer Mami Kang intends to create a state of constant morphing. With dream-like fragments, voice, sound and movement, the work imagines dance as something that transcends human exceptionalism and brings an altered vibrancy.


An assembled figure encompasses a multilayered spiritual microcosm. It resists the economy that tries to reify the world and reduce the individual to a single and solid representation. Here, spatiotemporal reconfiguration does not seek linear progressions but rather attune to the emergence of forgotten, decaying and unknown corporeal sites.


By exploring subconscious desire, Body Drift invites the audience to participate in a cryptic, elusive, thus charged space where fiction and reality, imagination and materiality intersect.

Bio Mami Kang
Mami Kang is a Korean-Japanese choreographer based in Amsterdam. She graduated from the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in 2019. In her choreographic works, Mami addresses the experimentation of dance concerning its materiality, sensorial technology, and affect through poetic sensitivity. She often employs quasi-fictional figures to evoke both destabilizing and transformative bodily experiences. Her works explore the notions of mythopoesis, otherness and contradiction.
