Art throughout Asia- Korea

Korean Theatre is very vibrant today: being one of the largest musical markets and the country that brings us some of the delightful Kpop bands that are at their truest hearts theatrical machines! Korea is one of the countries that I have studied over the past few years mainly due to my sisterhood with Juno Kim. Juno is author and resident artist at www.runawayjuno.com and she has taught me a lot about the Korean spirit and Korean history in general. We also share a love for theatre, so she and I spent some time in Seoul checking out the theatrical scene in Seoul.

Prior to the 19th century there were basically two types of Korean theatre.
1. Talchum- Masked Drama, which was more politcal in nature. A mixture between song, dance and poetry.
2. Pansori- Korean opera. A central main character's journey that is supported by chanters, musicians and a chorus. Most similar to Japanese Noh rather than a Chinese Opera. 

A Picture Tells a Thousand Words

I am not a very good photographer at times. Often times things are super blurry or out of focus. I have been known to take off some heads frequently or amputate an arm or foot out of photo. But I enjoy taking pictures because I think they are a wonderful way to preserve and share the memories of the places I've been.
I am going to go through all the places I have recently been and choose one photo to represent that trip and coutry.
