About 찜질방
(jjim-jil-bang)
찜질방 (pronounced jjim-jil-bang in English) roughly translates to public bath and spa house in Korean. 찜질방 follows the story of a group of Korean teenage girls sharing their first jjimjilbang experience, where truths emerge in the physically vulnerable space from the girls’ conversations and a movement exploration of how the body speaks when it has been subjected to the unspeakable. A narration of the personal-turned-communal cultural reckonings with the unspeakably impactful body and beauty standards of the Korean American feminine experience, 찜질방 makes its debut as Stanford TAPS’s Fall 2025 Developmental Stage.
