About Dohee Lee
Korean diasporic multimedia performance artist Dohee Lee will be artist in residence at Northwestern from May 5-12, 2018. Born on Jeju Island, South Korea, Lee trained at the master-level in music and dance styles rooted in Korean shamanism. Since moving to Oakland in 1998, she has become an award-winning traditional and contemporary arts performer, collaborating with Kronos Quartet, Anna Halprin, and many others. A 2018 recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, Lee weaves her multiple virtuosities in drumming, dancing, and singing into immersive ritualized theatrical creations.

Dohee Lee's residency is co-sponsored by The Alumnae of Northwestern University, Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, Asian American Studies Program, Critical Studies in Theatre and Performance Cluster, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program, Initiative for Comparative Race and Diaspora, and the Interdisciplinary PhD in Theatre and Drama.
