Korea International Performance Art Festival
Three years ago, whilst lying on the grass at Woodford Folk Festival, a Korean Performance Artist, Hong O Bong, dangerously swung a world globe covered in shaving cream over my head. At the time I never thought that I’d ever have the chance of touring Korea with him as a performance artist! But somehow these things just happen…
Hong O Bong’s own Bucheon International Performance Art Festival (BIPAF) was the beginning of a two-week tour of South Korea. Performance artists from Thailand, Japan, the UK, The Philippines, Taiwan, The USA, Australia and Korea came together showcasing a diverse range of performance art in Bucheon Subway Station over three days. After Bucheon, I travelled to and performed in a range of different spaces, from public city squares to sunflower farms in the mountains.
My essay on emerging performance art in Brisbane, Replaced to Displace was printed in the BIPAF catalogue, and you can download it here.
The performance piece that I presented was called Tea[r] – a walking meditation that emerged while travelling back and forth between Korea and Australian between 2006 and 2009.
