At the third workshop, Professor Kim, Sook-ja (Korean National Intangible Cultural Property No.27, Seung-mu, Candidate) and Professor Choi, Won-sun (Korean National Intangible Cultural Property No.27, Seung-mu, Candidate) will teach Silshimcho & Jindo Buk-chum.

Silshimcho (Losing Heart: Sanjo-chum) 

Silshimcho is Sook-ja Kim’s version of Sanjo-chum, a Korean folk dance accompanied by Sanjo, a particular type of Korean folk music. Sanjo-chum was first created in the mid-twentieth century by many Korean dance choreographers and many different versions have kept the unique Korean dance style in that period. Silshimcho, as one of the most representative versions, shows the harmonic movements between the tensions and relaxations and the creativity of Sook-ja Kim.

Jindo Buk-chum (Drum dance of Jindo province)

Jindo Buk-chum shows appreciation for the unsophisticated and spiritual charms of ritual areas, which were portrayed in the Jindo Deul-Norae (Farmer’s Drum Play and Song in Jindo, an island in south-western part of Korea). Mr. Byung-cheon Park (Korean National Human Treasure) created the artistic version of Jindo Drum Play. One of the most recognizable properties of Jin-do-Buk-chum is the drum firmly tied on a performer’s waist and two drumsticks one in each hand. Its delicate and technical line of the movement shows its cultural richness. This dance also extends the diversity of Korean traditional rhythms (Jang-dan). It features Galttung-Malttung, Pumatsi and Hoseong as well as well-known Gut-geori and Jajinmori.
