무용작품의 대중성 증진을 위한 안무자들의 인식과 발전 방향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the right directions for the development of Korean dance performance from a perspective of choreographers in an effort to seek ways of boosting the popularity of Korean dance. It’s specifically meant to hold an in-depth interview with selected choreographers, who were active in the community of dance, to find out their awareness and view of the popularity of dance performance and how to boost its popularity in an attempt to suggest some of the right directions for the development of dance performance. Chapter III investigated the awareness and view of choreographers on popularity, on an audience and choreographer, on popularity and artistry, and on the necessity of the improvement of popularity. How the kind of choreography that was especially intended to gain popularity was received and what results it produced were analyzed, and the disposition of the selected choreographers and their opinions on the necessity of the improvement of popularity and the right directions for the development of dance performance were investigated. Chapter IV suggested some of the right directions for the improvement of the popularity of dance performance based on the results of the previous chapter. Art can be meaningful only when it is with people in general. Choreographers should keep in mind such a flow of the times and change their mind-set instead of merely sticking to conservative self- assertion. They should be open-minded and have a professional mind-set. They should try to design an authentic choreography and give an authentic performance on the stage for the sake of an audience. In today’s age, the arts can be meaningful only when it's received by people in general. Choreographers should keep in mind such a flow of the times and change their mind-set instead of merely sticking to conservative self- assertion. They should broaden their horizon, be open-minded and have a professional mind-set. They should try to design an authentic choreography and give an authentic performance on the stage for the sake of an audience. At the same time, participatory education and participatory programs should be provided so that they could mingle with an audience instead of simply remaining on the stage. Finally, it's required to promote an interchange with the other genres of the arts and culture in line with the flow of the current times. In a word, choreographers should take the initiative in today’s culture and arts.
