At Insa Art Center located in Insadong, Seoul I could watch a performance luckily. It was held at the exhibition of Lee Suh Hyung. Korean traditional dancer, Na Young-ae played Salpuri Dance(kind of exorcising an evil spirit) to the accompaniment of four Korean traditional musical instrument players. She danced with her feet being dipped in red, blue, yellow color pigments. When she danced the foot prints were left on the white big mat. It made unexpected patterns as a result. I enjoyed the music, dance, and above all the sketching itself.

Today it was terrible with yellow dust wind and rain. But 11 sketchers participated in. We welcomed new young college students, Byun Saet-byul, Kwon Soo-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon, and Kim Seung-yeon. Their participation encouraged all of us in a gloomy day. We had nice lunch on 7th floor of Doosan Tower Building, one of the largest clothing shopping center in Dongdaemun district.
