Sharon Chohi Kim and Daniel Paul Schubert present "Limbs," an evening-length performance of voice, movement, and instruments created with found wood and objects.
Sharon Chohi Kim’s work as a voice artist, performer and composer includes immersive experimental opera, performance art, improvisation, sound art and site-specific space activation through movement and voice. As a Korean American female artist, I am interested in human connection across cultures and generations, transgenerational trauma of the Korean diaspora, and domestic and sexual violence. By engaging in the act of breathing as a right, I use the voice and body as a direct channel of protest and resistance. She fills spaces with sonic vibrations, exploring relationships between people and the space in which they occupy, inquiring into somatic and ancestral healing in humans and the earth. Through improvisation, she explores human and non-human states of being, enthusiastically discovering new ways in which her voice can sound. Sharon Chohi has performed with the LA Philharmonic, the Industry Opera Company, Long Beach Opera, MOCA, at Walt Disney Hall, the Broad Museum, the Getty Center and Villa, in caves, tunnels, mountains, gardens, and in water.
Daniel Schubert’s interdisciplinary practice is driven by the land from where he lives, the materials he collects & his time spent over-the-road as a longhaul truckdriver. Schubert maintains a studio near where he was born in Los Angeles.
