Sharon Chohi Kim
AltoBio:
Sharon Chohi Kim’s work as an artist, performer and composer includes immersive experimental opera, performance art, improvisation, and space activation through movement and sound. By engaging in the act of breathing as a right and survival, she uses the voice and body as a direct channel of protest and resistance. She fills spaces with sonic vibrations, exploring relationships between people and the space in which they occupy, inquiring into somatic and ancestral healing in humans and the earth. Through improvisation, she explores human and non-human states of being, enthusiastically discovering new ways in which her voice can sound. Sharon Chohi has performed with the LA Philharmonic, the Industry Opera Company, Long Beach Opera, MOCA, at Walt Disney Hall, the Broad Museum, the Getty Center and Villa, in caves, tunnels, mountains, gardens, and in water.
