FLUX by Dohee Lee October 16, 2008

San Francisco-based innovator Dohee Lee explores metaphysical questions about life in the world premiere of a YBCA commission, titled FLUX, integrating traditional Korean performance with contemporary music, movement and film. Born in Korea and now immersed in the Bay Area’s experimental art world, Lee is trained in shamanic ritual music and dance and Korean percussion. Inspired by the ancient Chinese text I-Ching, or Book of Changes, Lee maps out the book’s 64 symbolic hexagrams with a stunning integration of light design, imagery and movement. The work features filmmaker and virtuoso bassist Tatsu Aoki; saxophonist Francis Wong; Jonathan Chen on violin and electronics; Jason Lewis, multiple percussion; dancer/choreographer Sherwood Chen; and visual artist Thomas Wong.
