I LOST MY BODY – HOMECOMING
Eunjeong Oh & Jack Strömberg (Co-produced with Divadlo Studio Tanca)
I Lost My Body – Homecoming is a contemporary dance duet that explores the ideas of home, memory, and relationships through movement, partnering, tenderness, falls, and conversation. The work invites audiences to reflect on what it means to feel at home, how our sense of home can change over time, and what happens when a place or relationship we once trusted no longer feels safe.
The performance also uses luggage as an almost literal metaphor for the emotional burdens we carry throughout our lives. On stage, two performers carry, support, challenge, and accompany one another. In doing so, the work asks: whom do we carry through life, who carries us, and whom do we allow to support us on our journey toward ourselves and a sense of home?

BIO
EUNJEONG OH
Eunjeong Oh is a South Korean contemporary dancer and choreographer currently based in Slovakia. She began her dance training at Seoul Tanz Station, where she studied ballet, modern dance, improvisation, and contemporary dance, before pursuing a degree in Modern Dance at Dongduk Women’s University in Seoul. Seeking a broader and more experimental approach to performance-making, she later continued her studies at the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD) in Austria, graduating in 2024.
Throughout her artistic development, Eunjeong has been interested in dance as a means of communication, storytelling, and embodied research. An early collaboration with choreographer Jaewon Oh on The Day Before deepened her understanding of performance as a space where movement can carry emotional and narrative meaning. Since then, she has worked across diverse creative contexts, engaging with both repertory and collaborative creation processes.
During her time in Europe, she performed in Come Out by Olivier Dubois and collaborated with JUKSTA Dance Company on This Too Shall Pass. Some of her choreographic works include Lunar (2022), inspired by the relationship between Korean fan dance traditions and celestial imagery, Inhabited or We Will See (2023), co-created with Arianna Bonacina, her solo Touch Me Not (2024) and Solitary Not Alone, co-created with Jack Strömberg.
Since August 2025, Eunjeong has been working as a dancer and choreographer with Divadlo Štúdio Tanca in Slovakia. Through both choreography and performance, she continues to investigate how movement can create spaces for connection, reflection, and shared experience.
