The award-winning Korean company Laboratory Dance Project, founded by artistic director Shin Chang-Ho, debut at The Place with their incredible, physically charged, acrobatic dance work which combines contemporary choreography, hip hop and martial arts. Three distinct works define the extraordinary talent of these artists and performers. Lee In Soo's Modern Feeling is an accomplished piece of contact work detailing the meetings, conflicts and compromises of two men. The work won the Grand Prix award at the Seoul International Choreographer Festival in 2008. Jeon Mi Sook's Promise is a thoughtful examination of suspicion, prejudice, forgiveness and the freedom to be different set to Steve Reich's classicMusic for 18 Musicians. In No Comment, the company's signature piece, a testosterone fuelled group of seven suited male dancers stalk and prowl the stage in an astonishing piece of high energy work.
