Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels
HER Project
Through her signature electrifying movement style, pulsating music and dynamic light design, Her Project’s exhilarating new production <1 Degree Celsius> by Sung Im Her invites us to consider the question: How can art spark action in the face of the climate crisis? What kind of action can art inspire in the face of the climate crisis? Featuring seven dancers, <1 Degree Celsius> explores climate change and its consequences, offering an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing environmental emergency.
SynopsisAs with all Her’s work, music and light form an essential and innovative character in the production. A new musical score has been created using data collected from rising atmospheric temperatures, and the lighting design is delicately coordinated to the rising temperature of the earth.
Sung Im Her is a contemporary dancer and choreographer known for sharply capturing issues facing contemporary society and boldly expressing them through body language. After graduating from the choreography program at 'P.A.R.T.S.

Her major works include <Nutcrusher (2019)>, <W.A.Y (2019)>, and <Everything Falls Dramatic (2022)>, all of which have been praised for their fresh approach to exploring the political and sensory dimensions of contemporary dance.
