Culture Mart 2012: Soomi Kim
Hosted by Pete McCabe
Originally aired 10/29/12

Pete McCabe hosts multi dimensional performing artist Soomi Kim. Kim discusses some of her previous work that includes Bruce Lee, the representations of Asian Americans in our culture and the 2012 project she is developing at the HERE Arts Center called Chang(e), an original 70-minute hybrid dance theater work that incorporates dance on film, performance art, music, movement, political theater and site-specific work. Chang(e) is based on the life and work of Asian American performance artist/dancer Kathy Change who is infamously remembered for her last “performance” in which she set herself on fire and danced in protest to the political apathy of elite college students.
