How do you know that you want a baby?
This is the BIG question that theatre artist/director/musician Jisun Myung asks in The Miyeokguk (Seaweed Soup) Project. This piece is a multi sensory installation and performance centering Korean women diaspora’s voices/stories on reproduction. Ri met with Jisun before each performance to understand her vision and intention for the project so we could ensure the filming and editing process reflected how she wanted the project to be seen. Dances With Tech LLC filmed two different iterations of the project, one in January 2022 and the second in October 2022, using two Sony A7C cameras on a tripod & gimbal as well as a Zoom H4n audio recorder. Right before the second show, Ri interviewed the two performers in the piece (Jisun & Jemima) to learn more about the meaning and making of this thoughtful piece of theatre.
