Soohyun Park is a dancer based in Jeju, also working as an educator, cultural arts planner, and director of the Jeju Theater Social Cooperative. She began with traditional Korean dance at a young age and toured internationally, later expanding her practice through collaborations across theater, music, and media arts. Since moving to Jeju, she has focused on creating performances that intertwine Jeju’s mythology, history, and everyday life. Her latest project, a mono dance theatre titled Camellia Flower You, explores the solo nature of Korean traditional dance, merging narrative, live music, and visual art. Park believes cross-genre collaboration has deepened her understanding of dance and enriched her artistic expression. For her, art is a way of living fully—connecting with others, learning from diverse experiences, and transforming the personal into the universal. She encourages young artists in Jeju to trust their direction, persist through challenges, and never give up on their art, believing that such perseverance leads to moments of beauty and unexpected miracles.
