House Programme - MEDITA
A healing pursuit of equanimity and elegance
Inspired by the idea of dynamic equilibrium in Asian philosophy, MEDITA gently takes you into a space of meditation, where energy flows in perfect balance between power and softness, intensity and warmth. Through steady, ambient music and Modern Table's intuitive dance movements, MEDITA offers a moment of healing through relaxing the entire body.
MEDITA premiered in 2024 and won the 2025 Grand Prize in Choreography, awarded by the Korean Association of Dance Critics.
