Si Ra Hur is a haegeum player, a performing artist, and a teaching artist. With traditional Korean music and dance movements, she is engaged in performing arts and arts education. As she seeks to learn from the younger generation, she is in search for arts that can be shared with them. She attempts to discover the value in making and enjoying the arts together.
From the reactions the audience of performing arts and the participants of arts education give, I realize performing arts and arts education are a necessary part for everyone. Raising a child, I observe what kind of art experiences children at that age are having and spend my time thinking about what art experiences they need. These activities are the driving force for my practice.
A teaching artist is a person who shares diverse artistic experiences with people through art activities. I hope I will be in the process of ceaselessly developing my artistic capabilities and strive to incorporate the discoveries I find from this process into arts education.
Everlastingly floating clouds. Clouds have so many different colors, shapes, and rhythms, and they change their forms or directions in an unpredictable way. Even when clouds seem to stand still for a while, they are actually still floating, going somewhere. When I follow where they go and sometimes look at them calmy, I gain strength to continue my work as an artist.
For me, they are people I spend my time with. In that time lie enthusiasm, passion, the moment of waiting, and reconciliation. I will spend another time like that with different colleagues I will encounter in the future.
