KOREA HOUSE Folk Performance

The Korea House folk performance team, established by the Foundation for the Preservation of Cultural Properties (FPCP) who helps preserve and promote Korean traditional cultural arts, presents a spectular Korean performing arts showcase throughout the year for both natives and foreign visitors.

Inside the Korea House is a folk performance hall, which holds 156 seats, where human cultural properties, performers from the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts, and dancers from the National Dance Company in Korea perform Korean traditional music and dance every afternoon.

In particular, programs like “Sinawi”, “Buchaechum (a traditional fan dance)”, “Salpuri (a traditional shamanism dance)”, “Pansori (a traditional narrative song)”, “Bukchum (a traditional drum dance)”, “Bongsantalchum (a traditional Bonsan masked dance)”, “Seungmu (a Buddhist solo dance in white clothing)”, and “Barachum (a Buddhist ritual dance)” are famously enjoyed by foreign visitors.
Event Programs: The regular folk performance held at the Korea House where various Korean cultural experiences including food and performances can be enjoyed presents eight diverse performances for about an hour.
