Workshop

K-Publishing: Language in Rhythm, Discovering Korean Through Dance

Saturday 11 April

Museums Victoria / Immigration Museum / What's On / K-Publishing: Language in Rhythm, Discovering Korean Through Dance

Experience the joy of K-pop and choreography in this dance session run by O2 Dance Studios.

Participants will be immersed in all things K-pop and are invited to share their own knowledge about K-pop music, dances, trends, and their favourite K-pop stars.

The Korean language will be shared through music and becomes embodied through dance and movement.

The artwork, writing, and photographs produced by kids in this session will become content for a picture book that will be collaboratively shaped by kids throughout the K-Publishing program and launched in July.

K-Publishing: Language in Rhythm, Discovering Korean Through Dance is presented in partnership with the Immigration Museum with support from the Australian Government and The University of Melbourne.
