About the performance:
Moon Falling investigates the damage of society's pursuit for perfection and convenience on the planet and human bodies. The audience will bear witness to seven primary dancers as they unravel, expose, and interact with their environment, forcing viewers to examine their relationship to the continuous destruction of the planet.
About the company:
The Three Yells was founded in 1999 by Lee-Baik to stimulate the imagination of the artist and observer and explore the unfamiliar with abandonment. Lee-Baik's work is driven by inclusion and experimentation with other art forms, as seen in her use of movement, music, spoken text, and strong visual design. Her distinct choreographic voice reflects her varied background by envisioning Western avant-garde styles through the prism of Asian aesthetics and traditions. www.thethreeyells.com
About the Artistic Director/ Founder:
Originally from Singapore, Lee-Baik studied dance and art at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and professionally trained at the Royal Academy of Dance (London), the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance (New York), and Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle) where she received her BFA in dance. She has taught at institutions in Singapore and Seattle, including co-founding and co-directing Exit Space School of Dance in Seattle.
Lee-Baik's work has been produced at On The Boards (Seattle), Northwest Asian American Theatre (Seattle), Soil Gallery (Seattle), Bumbershoot (Seattle), Seattle University (Seattle), Conduit (Portland), and Victoria Theatre (Singapore). The Three Yells performance company has been part of Afest, 12 Mins Max, Northwest New Works, and Bumbershoot.
