00:00Good morning, my name is Phil Hewitt, Group Arts Editor at Sussex Newspapers. Well, this
00:06is exciting, talking to Eunmi, who is currently in South Korea for the moment, but before
00:12long is heading to the UK for a two-month tour, eight cities, taking in Southampton,
00:18the Mayflower. It's a big tour with your contemporary dance company, and the show is Dragons. And
00:25you were saying this is your biggest tour to the UK. That's exciting, isn't it?
00:30Yes, very much. We are all company dancers, everybody is so excited because it's the first
00:36time to meet all people over there.
00:40Were you looking for new territories, new experiences? Why is it happening?
00:47Because it's something culture, it's like to see people, not reading anything. When
00:58you be there, it's a completely different experience you're going to get. Doesn't matter
01:03we are performing or not, but be there is very important for us. That's why.
01:09Good, it sounds very exciting. And do we need to know something about the company beforehand?
01:15Or can we just walk in the theatre, watch and enjoy?
01:18No, I love surprise. They're going to be surprised. And then definitely they will have something
01:25from us, which is all Dragons. Young people are going to deliver it to beautiful mind
01:31and heart and the effort and the love.
01:35And the point is Dragons, that means something specific to you. What does Dragon mean in
01:41your company?
01:42It means reading some stories. It makes creation, the power of creation. It never stops. It
01:49makes everything can be possible. That's the symbolic idea for us.
01:55It sounds super. It sounds brilliant. It's coming to the UK, including Southampton. Really
02:01lovely to speak to you. Have a safe trip and have a great tour. Thank you.
02:06Thank you very much.
