  Korean traditional performing arts into contemporary stage related to her theatre company 
 ¡®Michoo¡¯s Philosophy¡¯. She has trained with national treasure Pansori teacher from 1994 till 2002,

  of Korean dance , percussion and puppetry that she has been teaching and performing with, including 
  international festivals in Europe, Asia and America,in the later phase of her theatre career. 
  At the same time, she slowly moved to the devising theatre in which she collaborated with visual 
  artists to create visual theatres especially developed in her own way of working with objects. 
  During and after her training in dramatherapy and Jacques Lecoq methods in the U.K., 
  she has been looking for the way in which the performer can be the centre of the creative process 
  by projecting their internal images on to time and space and developing rapport point with the 
  audience to share rather than show. Recently, her work has been usually seen as ¡®object theatre¡¯ 
  often perceived as ritualistic and visual performance. 
  Most recent credit as a performer includes, 
  Migrant Overtures¡¯ (January, 2005, supported by art council in England and Korean Art Council) with
 ¡®Sleeping Dogs¡¯in London mime festival,'cameo¡¯ (throughout 2005),¡®early one morning as the sun set¡¯ 
  (premiered in 12, 2005 supported by Art Council England) with dance company Zephyr in Zanussi¡¯. 
  She has worked with Dance Theatre Company¡®Imago Mundi¡¯for ¡®In transit¡¯supported by Oh Art Centre

 ¡®a dream of butterfly¡¯which was invited for the east@west festival in Slough, Fresh Festival,
  Bracknell, U.K.,Malta International Theatre Festival, Poznan, Brave Festival, Wroclaw, Poland in 2006. 
  This is her core vision of performance that she has been researching for her recent professional 
  career as a performing artist as well as a dramatherapist. In 2006, she was invited to the 
 ¡®Song of the Goats theatre¡¯ in Poland to deliver the Korean  shamanic music related to the 
  performative aspect of Korean shamanism, supported by Korean art council. 
  As a long- term project, she is working on devising a new work based on the Korean shamanic music 
  with Michoo Theatre company in Korea. 
  As a qualified dramatherapist, she is also breaking the cultural borderline since she has worked in 
  Sri Lanka for Tsunami Victims as well as in Korea and England.
