Founded in 2011 by choreographer Soon-ho Park, Bereishit is a Seoul-based dance company that takes a contemporary approach to Korean traditional culture, focusing on fundamental values, as opposed to simply borrowing or transforming them. Park’s work explores the issues of identity and transformation and delves into multimedia, street dance, community dance work and real time interactive demonstration. With heightened sensitivity towards space and rhythms, the company’s captivating performances are delivered with kinesthetic clarity and power.

Soon-ho has done various works and projects with installation and media artists, and musicians, including a collaboration with Giga Hizume, who is the director of Sal Vanilla, a multimedia and live performance group in Japan. He has received major funding from Arts Council Korea, and awards including The Choreography Award of the Year by the Performing Arts and Film Review, The New Choreographer’s Award by the International Modern Dance Festival, and the Best Choreography Award both from the Korean Dance Researchers and Critics Association and the ChangMu Arts Center. His work opened the Festival Asia in Barcelona, Spain, in 2007. Since then, Soon-ho’s works have been presented at venues and festivals in many countries such as Poland, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Uruguay, India, Switzerland, and Mexico, amongst others.
