The Korean Traditional Dance Association Presents: 명무 (Myeongmu)
Korean Traditional Dance is a reflection of Korean people’s lives and emotions. The dancer’s movements are weeping willow tree branches alike, without artificial or structured movements. The dancers release various experiences of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, and the audience can assimilate into those experiences through the movement of the dancer. The Korean Traditional Dance Association will be presenting at the Coppell Arts Center on May 28 at 6 p.m. and tickets can be purchased at www.coppellartscenter.org.
