Choreographer of Sense of Black 360 Hwang Soohyun has been exploring in depth the elements of ‘sense’ and ‘awareness’ between performance and the active gaze (of the audience) with the focus on how physical experiences function. As part of Unforeseen, a KNCDC X MMCA Interdisciplinary arts project the performance, the work “I want to cry, but I’m not sad” garnered much attention for the work which attempted to find the mechanism behind tears, capturing both the connecting link and the disparities between sadness and crying, the sensation and the emotion. Her performance I sense what they feel, invited to perform at 2019 Seoul Marginal Theatre Festival, was created with the process of a dancer’s bodily sensation transgressing, which was a realization of the choreographer’s series of works around ‘senses’ illustrated with unique and distinctive language. Sense of Black 360 is a piece that is a piece that is an extension of the choreographer’s exploration of the ‘senses’, and looks to lay bare the senses produced through the sound vibration in a theatre space with the dancer’s body as a medium.

Kim Chanu, the director of Hard Disck, studied sculpture. While working as an artist he has created video works of himself testing out to resolve his curiosities until the end, such as his work Sookgara(2014) where he would continuously walk only in the direction pointed out by a spoon he would drop repeatedly. Feeling that an artwork loses its life when work hung up on an exhibition space, he has come to present his works personally to the audience in a new space Hard Disck in 2019.

The co-director Choi Yoonsuk produced the premier of Hard Disck at Theatre Sinchon in 2019. He actively continues his practice through various works crossing video and performance This Shouldn't be this way(2017) which sought to revive the elements disappearing like that of shredded memos and deleted moments in home videos.
