Jung-Eun Kim aka JE kim performs "a little plane story
(work-in-progress) ". JE is from Seoul, South Korea. She is a dancer,
choreographer, video artist and web designer. She received her MFA in
Dance from Hollins University/American Dance Festival. After recently
moving to Philadelphia and being in the United States for almost three
years now, she is very happy to have found a new home where she can
develop new relationships with artists in the community and expand her
ideas http://www.jekim.org/

Gene Coleman is a composer, musician and artistic director. He has
created over 40 works for various instrumentation, often-using complex
notations and improvisation in the same score. Radical use of the
instrument's sound producing possibilities makes Coleman, both as a
composer and as a performer, a musician who seeks a greater synthesis
between what is called sound (or noise) and what is called music.
Since 2001 his work has focused on globalization and music's
relationship with architecture and video.
