Solo Mime Work
BLUE ROOM
It started with a box. A small wooden box with ornate carvings and metal hinges. Begun in January of 2016 (but conceived and set aside the summer before), this was a piece in six parts, and a chair was eventually added to the mix. This piece explores opposites, potential, and balance.
Text is original text by Simone Nibbs, and explores loneliness, depression, and fear of not living up to one's potential wrapped inside the description of parallel mirror worlds.
This piece has been performed 4 times for public audiences.
Other (please specify):
Born from the desire to make sense of the disconnect between self-identity and the way the world insists on seeing us, Other (please specify): is a one person show about identity, community, and never quite fitting in. It is ostensibly about multiracial identity, and hopes to present some aspects of the experience that are often overlooked or simply ignored. Other (please specify): strives to combine a movement score created in the tradition of Corporeal Mime with text in the style of Verbatim Theater to create something that provides representation while sharing the experiences of people who are not often given the space to express themselves on these topics.
Fishwives
Performed in September of 2018 at a live music venue in downtown Nagoya, Japan, Fishwives used text that spoke of women and the secret powers they hold. Fishwives is part of a series lovingly referred to by those familiar with them as either "The Box Piece" or "The Chair Piece." This includes Blue Room, Erupting Light, Cities and Dragons, and Fishwives. They're rearrangements of each other with different texts, different movement sequences, and sometimes with other people. These pieces all use the same wooden box and an Ikea chair, Stefan. This was performed solo as part of a recurring event called Witches hosted by musician Darian Gore.
Featured In:
"Inspired by the seasonal migration of Monarch butterflies in nature, “Do You: Migration of The Monarchs” is a journey to our “Promised Land”. Like one reggae song, “Promised land” is a state of mind. This means to me one’s higher self or true fulfillment in Life. It reflects my personal journey of migrating from South Korea to Los Angeles to find my voice and freedom as an LGBTQ identified artist. It is a story about a realization in one’s power dynamics through the transformations of the identity and how it can evoke the shift in others and society.
“Do You: Migration of the Monarchs” takes the audience on a shamanistic journey through a series of sexually charged gender redefining performance vignettes. Burlesque and Cabaret merge with Victorian esthetics, Butoh, Kabuki, and ‘Pansori’ (traditional Korean singing) to create a cathartic act of experiential research into the psyche of the performer. Yozmit projects the internal act of healing through embodying beauty so that the audience may simultaneously experience inner peace and inspiration.
Yozmit has performed internationally in Korea, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria and many cities in America. Yozmit is a headliner for The Box, NYC and London and also performed at MoMA for Marina Abramovic.
*"Do You" means “Doing You”, “Realizing SELF”."
