Choreography: Alison Cook-Beatty Music: To Be Fallen For, Composed by Dr Young Mi Ha Visual Artist: Posoon Park Sung Performance Info: One dancer; ten minutes
Premiered at The Frederick Loewe Theater NYU in New York City
TO BE FALLEN FOR began when Dr Young Mi Ha, inspired by the paintings of Posoon Park, wrote this piece of music. Young Mi (the mentor of Eunbi Kim, who had previously composed for and collaborated with Alison) then reached out to Alison and asked her to create a solo.
Looking at the beautiful self-portaits painted by Posoon Park, who was a breast cancer patient, and listening to Youngmi’s music, Alison then created this solo dance piece about overcoming the smallest things and the biggest things, and the strength needed to take that first step.
Posoon Park is a visual artist from Korea. Her paintings are in collection at the June Kelly Gallery in Soho, NYC
