Director Biography - Esl Kim

Choreographer, Artistic Director and founder of the creative group MOOMPLAY, Esl Kim has a diverse performance and dance background; ranging from street to modern. Over the past 13 years she has worked with numerous local and international choreographers with many differing body movement methodologies; Marcos Morau(Spain), Ben J. Riepe(Germany), Ismael Ivo(Brazil), Hiroaki Umeda(Japan), Rosie Herrera(United States), Sarah Doucet(Canada), Jinyeob Cha(Korea), to name a few.

The primary theme of her work over the last 8 years has been focused on perception; particularly the limits of sight and understanding through the relationship of words and movements as well as the blurring of space and boundaries between spectator and performer. Works based on this theme have been presented since 2014; at the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company's 'CHOREO LAB', Asia Culture Center' 'Choreographer's LAB, PADAF, Ansan International Street Arts Festival and numerous projects and residencies; Ottawa Dance Directive- Ottawa (2021), Choreodrome-London(2018),K3-Hamburg(2017).
