In creating this choreography, I intend to reference specific sections from Yi Sang’s poem “Ogamdo” (Crow’s Eye View), specifically the first, third, fourth, and eighth chapters. To me, “Ogamdo” is a simple chase scene viewed from a bird’s perspective. I interpreted it as a group of children running together, with an outsider in their midst who continually triggers anxiety and ultimately disrupts their balance and collective movements. Yi Sang, who was also an architect during his lifetime, approached instability with a calculated precision. This aspect is evident in “Ogamdo,” and I aim to convey this calculated anxiety towards the outsider through movements, without losing the dynamic playfulness and structure that emerge from the choreography.

Functionally Utilizing the ‘Outsider’ in the Structure
Rather than focusing on narrative, I want to functionally incorporate the "outsider" into the choreographic structure. By identifying the presence of a single individual within the collective (ensemble), I propose the joy of witnessing the moment when that individual causes a shift in the arrangement.

Manifesting Contemporary Dance Forms
By incorporating texts from the past into choreography, I aim to create work that aligns with contemporary currents. Given that stage performances thrive on their connection with audiences, I always consider this in my work. In , the choreography will embed the human condition of feeling anxious even in peaceful situations into the structure itself. This is intended to evoke a stronger sense of empathy from the audience.

When approaching “Ogamdo,” I believe it is better to experience it like observing a painting, rather than trying to impose a narrative or symbolic interpretation. The emotional response that arises from the visual composition of numbers, patterns, and symbols is, in my view, the answer. Similarly, I hope audiences will first enjoy the tension and exhilaration conveyed by the structure and composition of the dancers’ positions and poses on stage, before assigning any story or meaning. In this way, I hope to offer a new perspective on “Ogamdo,” a poem that was once considered strange and shunned, through the medium of dance.
