BISCO Performing Arts Series Selected Production
“From Heritage to New Expression”
Chicago Korean Dance will present “From Heritage to New Expression,” the selected production of the 2025 BISCO Performing Arts Series hosted by the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago (hereafter KCCoC), on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 6:00 PM at BISCO Hall.
For this production, Chicago Korean Dance has newly curated its signature repertoire under the theme “Korean Traditional Dance and Contemporary Reinterpretation.” The program features works that faithfully embody the aesthetics of traditional Korean dance alongside creative pieces that reinterpret tradition through a modern lens. By bridging past, present, and future, the performance offers audiences a powerful and immersive experience of the depth and emotional resonance of Korean dance.
Artistic Director Aedeok Lee stated, “The dances we perform today may themselves become traditions in the future. This performance is both an officially selected production and a stage that introduces the renewed vision of Chicago Korean Dance.” She added, “By presenting traditional works alongside creatively reinterpreted pieces with guided commentary, we hope to deepen audience understanding and share the beauty of Korean culture more widely.”
Performed exclusively by professional dancers, this production presents both traditional and contemporary Korean dance in a refined and thoughtfully structured program. With live commentary enhancing audience engagement and understanding, attendees will gain deeper insight into the historical context and artistic significance of each piece. The evening promises to be a meaningful artistic dialogue where tradition and modern sensibility coexist.
