gmtc’s 1 year anniversary, celebrating the golden monkey’s birthday


🐒 감사합니다. 모든 사람들의 마음과 정성이 모여 황금 원숭이의 돌잔치 잘 치렀습니다. 녹록지 않은 뉴욕살이지만 이날 듬뿍 건네받은 기운과 에너지를 부적삼아 앞으로도 잘 헤쳐 나가볼게요. 모두와 함께한 원숭이의 돌잡이는 ‘돈’이었어요. 부디! 과연!

thank you so much to everyone who attended our golden monkey’s doljanchi and to those of you who supported us from afar. raising a baby performance space in new york is never easy, but they say the first year is the hardest. and because we made it through, the next one will be better, and the one after even better!

our monkey‘s fortune pick (doljabi) was ‘money’ so let’s see how it goes 😎
