WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company will be performing at The Jamaica Dance Festival.
WHITE WAVE Dance will be performing "iyouuswe III"(read I-You-Us-We-Three), a multi-year collaboration by pioneering choreographer, Young Soon Kim, in collaboration with performers, as they continue to explore the body's 3 dimensions in space. Probing the weight of human emotions, “iyouusweIII,” presents a vividly-colored vision where movement and mise-en-scène seamlessly meld. Especially during this critical time of the covid Pandemic, this piece challenges us to examine who we are, and how we relate to ourselves and to each other. It is a story of developing relationships by which we struggle to find a sense of ‘i’ as part of a ‘we.’
“iyouuswe III” will be presenting as Work in Progress.
WHITE WAVE Dance will also perform excerpts from “iyouuswe II” and “Eternal NOW”.
Choreography by Young Soon Kim, in collaboration with the performers
Original Score by Marco Cappelli
Other Music by Jim Perkins, Stephan Bodzin& Angus MacRae
Dancers: Lacey Baroch, Michael Bishop, SumireIshige, Casey LaVres, Alexander Sargent, Ellie Swainhart, John Trunfio, MarkWillis, Finleigh Zack

About WHITE WAVE Dance
Formed in 1988, WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company (WHITE WAVE) strives to inspire audiences through multi-dimensional dance productions reflecting themes and philosophies both modern and timeless. Our mission is to be a potent stimulus for change and expansion of the dance/arts world through the production of dance concerts, classes, residencies, and education. Artistic Director Young Soon Kim’s vision is expansive, challenging the threshold of dance, music, theater and visual art, surging forward to create new possibilities. Ms. Kim creates works of vision and movement language in reverence and awe of novelty that challenge and broaden the boundaries of dance. We provide both emerging and established choreographers/companies with a NYC venue where they can congregate, create, rehearse and present new dance works through our festivals.
After the World première at the 2017 La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival, WHITE WAVE Dance’s Canadian première of "iyouuswe" (read as I-You-Us-We-two) at the 2018 Vancouver International Dance Festival was a resounding success! WHITE WAVE presented “Eternal NOW” at our enormously successful 2019 tour to Korea and China. In Gwanju, Korea, we performed at a special event at the Asian Cultural Center, one of the most prestigious arts complexes in all of Asia. There we participated at the Opening Celebration of the 2019 FINA World Championship Masters' Games, a sporting event that rivals the Olympics. Following that, we flew to China to perform at the Ningbo Cultural Plaza, as part of a China-US Cultural Exchange program. Dazzled sold-out audiences greeted us at every performance!
During the Summer/Fall 2021, Young Soon Kim, continually created “iyouuswe II, A Dance Film” and a stage version of the production.In October 2021 WHITE WAVE Dance presented three free performances of their newest production, iyouuswe II (I-You-Us-We-Two), on October 9 and 30, 2021 at DUMBO Archway, and two shows at the Home of WHITE WAVE Dance at 5pm as part of the City Artist Corps Grant Initiative.
“iyouuswe II, A Dance Film” was selected as finalist for the 2022 Cannes International Film Festival, Paris International Short Festival, Vancouver Independent Film Festival and an OFFICIAL SELECTION at the 2021 London International Short Film Festival, Espoo Digi-Dance International Film Festival (Finland) and Experimental, Dance, Music Film Festival (Canada).
