국립무용원 건립이 지역 무용 활성화에 미칠 영향

Abstract

This paper discusses the impact of invigoration of regional dance on the basis of the need to construct the Korea National Dance Center. Under the premise that the Korea National Dance Center will establish branches in various regions along with a headquarter in Seoul, the impact on regional dance revitalization would include specializing regional dances, fostering local dancers, supporting programs that promote regional dances, developing networks between regions or at home and abroad, promoting theories and criticism of regional dance, and creating dance related jobs. The Preparatory Committe for the Korea National Dance Center is hoping that the center will provide a way to overcome much of the structural problems of the Korean dance field and overcome the field’s overall imbalance. In particular, it can have a more encouraging effect on invigoration of the dance field in each region as well as in Seoul, and this will naturally help to establish the global competence of Korean dance by distributing and expanding Seoul-centric activities across the country. In order to do this, rather than looking at the profits and losses of each dancer, it is necessary to make public voices for the entire dance field.
