Jackson Hall

Drawing from many sources, including street dance and martial arts, Korean dance company Bereishit Dance presents two Mondavi Center premieres: Judo and Balance & Imbalance.
Through dance and rhythm, Judo shows how sports can mediate and transcend our inner turmoil. It reflects competition, cooperation, conflict, and harmony in society.
In Balance & Imbalance, dancers seamlessly partner and then hurtle through space, employing the laws of physics to illustrate the constantly turning wheel of opposition and harmony at the heart of all relationships. The piece is set to traditional live Korean percussion and pansori, a kind of musical storytelling
Founded in 2011 by acclaimed choreographer Soon-ho Park, the company is known for their contemporary approach to traditional Korean culture with work that beautifully connects the forms and themes of sports and traditional arts.
Run time is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with an intermission
A dance battle executed with the explosive force of gymnasts and the smooth exactitude of a K-pop boy band.
