To Leave a Trace is scheduled in the relay dance film programme of the Seoul International Dance Festival in Tank on 23 September 2026. The organizer’s listing carries the film under my name, marks the entry 중국 초청, “invited from China,” and notes 하와이 주립대 추천, “a recommendation from the University of Hawaiʻi.” The listing does not name a campus, department or individual recommender.
