Character: The K-pop Idol
Performance focus
Create a solo performance based on the character of the K-pop Idol. On tour in another country, the K-pop Idol is exposed to freedoms he/she has never previously experienced. Feeling trapped and tired of being controlled despite his/her solid success, he/she approaches a local record producer and pitches his/her idea for a whole new act in order to secure a deal. The K-pop Idol does this by:
demonstrating the highs and lows of his/her rise to fame as a K-pop star
recreating how K-pop started and how it has become the worldwide phenomenon it is today
showing how the popular music industry has evolved since the 1960s.
