Eun-Me AHN artistic director of Eunme Ahn Company, choreographer, performer - south korea

Korean and cosmopolitan, an avant-garde figure, but also choreographer of the very official opening ceremony of the Football World Cup in Deagu in 2002 and present at the most important international festivals, Eun-Me Ahn is adept at cultivating the beauty of contrast. She will mix polka-dots, stripes and flowers and play with the most frivolous colours of pop before immediately plunging into the most solemn austerity, using the most subtle nuances of androgyny, or taking it real slow, all the better to make the rhythms of trance burst out…
It was at the age of 12 that Eun-Me Ahn started her training in traditional Korean dance. In 1989 she completed her studies at the E-Wha University for Women in Séoul, where she got a degree in Fine Art and another in Art. Soon afterwards she graduated in dance from the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in New York in 1994. From 1986 to 1992, Eun-Me Ahn was a member of the Korean Modern Dance Company and the Korean Contemporary Dance Company of Seoul. In 1986 she started to develop her choreographic work in Korea, continuing until 1993. During her stay in New York she pursued her choreographic activities: over five seasons, from 1995 to 1999, she was successful with several long works, acclaimed by the public and critics alike. Eun-Me Ahn is renowned for her powerful and moving images. She is considered the Korean representative of Japanese Butô dance.
Over the past two years, Eun-Me Ahn has gone back to working intensively in her native South Korea, where he officiated from 2001 to 2004 as the artistic director of the Deagu City Dance Troupe. She also choreographed the opening ceremony of the Football World Cup, some of whose matches took place in Deagu in 2002. Three of her solo works were presented at the Pina Bausch Festival in Wuppertal in 2001. In 2014, Eun-Me Ahn became artistic director of PAMS (the Performing Art Market in Seoul).
