Oolleemm (“Sounds of the Earth”) is a volunteer Korean Traditional Culture Performance organization, based in Washington and led by director, SooA Kim. Oolleemm’s mission is to develop a succession of Korean traditional sounds and dances to share Korean culture with local communities and other nations.Since 2012, Oolleem has performed numerous times for arts fairs, festivals, fund raising events, and multicultural gatherings. Korean rhythms and melodies are built upon the rhythmic pattern of breathing, the dynamics of strong and weak, and the buildup of tension followed by release.
