김천흥과 <조선무악>을 통한 국립국악원의 무용복원 연구

Abstract

This is an essay about restore of court dance by searching at activiies of Kim Cheon-heung, a great master of Korean traditional dance and music and a silent film <Joseon Muak[ 朝鮮舞 樂 ]> made in the 1931. To the research, Jeongjae; traditional court dance performed by Kim and the restoration procedure are reviewed. Also the contents and utilization values of <Joseon Muak> which offered appropriateness and confidence of Kim's Jeongjae project to audience. As a result, it was found that core of the Jeongjae restoration was Kim Cheon-heung, not documents of Joseon Dynasty, record paintings; Uigwe[ 儀軌 ] and Holgi[ 笏記 ]. This is because Kim was existence figure who served as a successor of Jeongjae since late Joseon Dynasty containing modern court music institute, Yiwangjik Aakpu. <Joseon Muak> has the existence of justification for the very reason that Kim is entitled to restore Jeongjae. The restoration of the dance is divided into three parts; first is steps to expand repertoire of Jeongjae and restore dancing, second is steps to restore each processes of court ritual, and last is steps to develop new creative dance drama by using Jeongjae. In the third case, historical documents, paintings and film such as <Joseon Muak> are paalied as a materials of creation. Also, in the restoration process, it was suggested that the beginning of the restoration work was made through historical literature, such Uigwe[ 儀軌 ] and Holgi[ 笏記 ], but eventually completed by creation. There is a limit to the writing or painting of a series of movements with continuous movements. It is only possible to create a gap between the cracks in this discontinuity, and Kim used the dance he had learned through his lifetime as a tool for creativity. Now we need to concentrate more on the creative exploitation of dance with Kim's achievements. First, for the future development of dance, the importance of dance and cultural sharing of dance worlds is paramount. Second, the dance majors should be systematically educated by Jeongjae as well as in elementary, middle and high schools. Lastly, Jeongjae should be used as a free ingredient rather than as part of a rigid court culture. I expect to study in neighboring areas such as dance academia, classical music, aesthetics, and theater in the near future.
