Teaching Artist Jee Yun Hong Joins Expanded Music

Last week EXPANDERS viewed the use of documentation to create and artistic expression. Two screens of Touching: Memories of NYC and Korea from the multimedia Internet 2 production entitled MEMORY that took place in 2010 with NYU, University of Colorado, and KAIST in Korea. This collaborative work included the dancer/choreographer Jee Yun Hong.

Jee Yun Hong is dancer, choreographer, dance educator and artist. She is graduated from Ewha Woman’s University in Korea with a B.F.A. in Dance, and she received her M.A. in Dance Education from Steinhardt School at NYU in 2011. She has been majoring in modern dance and performing various styles of dance in Korea, New York, Massachusetts, Boston, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and Uganda. Especially, as a dancer and choreographer, she has been worked with prominent choreographers and honored to perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for National College Dance Festival in Washington D.C. Through dancing, she believes that we will encounter our true-self in being aware of sincere mind and beyond.


We invited Ms. Hong to be part of our work as we start our collaborations for an Internet2 production on weekend of December 7/8 with another class, Collaborative Projects in the Arts. Her mission is to help us become aware of our bodies in our exploration of artistic process.
