This program includes moderately loud live music.
Discover the vibrant world of Korean traditional Tal (mask) dance with Insun Park & Generals. This interactive program invites audiences of all ages to explore Korean culture through hands-on creativity, movement and music. Participants will begin by creating their own colorful Tal masks inspired by traditional Korean designs, then learn the basics of Tal dance through fun and engaging movement activities led by Insun Park, one of the few woman masters of the Gangnyeong Mask Dance. The experience concludes with a lively performance by the band, blending Korean traditional music with modern rock influences and inviting everyone to dance together.
PEM Presents seeks to surprise and delight audiences with world-class artistry in music, theater, dance, film and more. This series allows audiences to learn about the artistic process and supports the development of artists with local, regional, national and global perspectives. PEM Presents further activates the museum as a global center for art, culture and creativity with artist residencies, live performances, lecture series, symposia and conferences. PEM Presents is a collaboration between Learning and Community Engagement and the Present Tense initiative.
PEM Presents is made possible by The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation.
