Event description:
Pochagi: A Tapestry of Korean Sounds is a East Asian fusion concert presented by Yin Yang Collective, a London’s East-West collaborative band and renowned Korean flute player Hyelim Kim. Discover an intoxicating mixture of eastern sounds - Korean, Japanese, Chinese with a dash of tango and toe-tapping Irish folk.

Yin Yang Collective (YYC) devised this special concert to showcase Hyelim Kim and theTaegŭm, a traditional Korean musical instrument but used increasingly for popular and crossover styles. Inspired by the rich patchwork of Korean Pochagi cloth which mirrors the tapestry of sounds and cultures,This concert brings together five outstanding Asian musicians for the first time in London.
Alongside Hyelim there will be Japanese Shamisen player Hibiki Ichikawa, currently the only professional Tsugaru Shamisen player in the UK, multi-instrumentalist Dennis Lee on Chinese flute & zither, rising Korean opera singer Bomi Kim, Charlie Cawood on Daruan (moon lute) and YYC’s own Director, Mark Troop on piano.

Jennifer Yang
‘Kaleidoscope’

18 May – 14 September 2013

Jennifer Yang is a Taiwanese London-based artist, who graduated in 2012 with a MA in Textiles from Central St. Martins. In her practice, she is interested in bringing unique experiences to audience by using contemporary techniques to re-explore classic and traditional crafts. For the First Step showcase, she will display her new installation “Kaleidoscope”. The work consists of large-scale sections of paper origami, which through the clever use of light and colour interact with the viewer depending on their viewpoint around the stairwell.

8 Jun-22 Jun 2013
Launch: 8 Jun, 10-6pm

The Poundshop, founded by designers George Wu, Sara Melin and Sarah Gottlieb in 2010, acts as a platform for designers to sell goods under the strict brief that they are sold within the affordable price bands £1, £5 and £10.They aim to share design, engaging a wider audience by making it accessible through price. For the first time, current members of Poundshop, George Wu and Sarah Melin, will be spreading their designer wings in Manchester, recruiting local designers and showcasing the best of local graduate talent – all at a very reasonable price for you, the lucky customer!

An hour of comedy from the award winning comic, inspired by the age old question “Where do you come from?”, and peppered throughout with songs that are “wittily constructed, if not entirely politically correct” (Three Weeks), be prepared to keep an open mind as your perimeters of acceptability are shamelessly put on trial.
