소매틱스 이론을 적용한 움직임 교육방법에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the movement patterns not observed in the dance technique class through the adaptation of the Somatics-applied movement teaching methodology, and to propose the result of this research into the dance education curriculum. For this purpose, the researcher chooses Developmental Movement, which draws from the developmental movement patterns in human infants. The developmental process from fetal movement establishes the basic patterns of all human movement and any incomplete development or skipping of any stage leads to perceptual movement problem. The author reviewed various primitive reflexes of the infant as examples of 'phylogenetic knowing', the Developmental Movement developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Developmental Patterning proposed by Irmgard Bartenieff. Moreover, the possibilities of the Somatics-applied movement teaching methodology will be explored through an experimental class, which focuses on Developmental Movement. As a result of this study, the researcher found that the modern dance majors showed spinal, homologus, homolateral, and contralateral movement in developmental movement patterns: however, ballet majors and Korean dance majors did not show spinal movement although they performed homologus, homolateral, and contralateral movement. This discovery means that if ballet and Korean dance majors try to spinal movement in their dance environment, they can move with the patterns and method which didn't dominant in their bodies. This will help to improve their movements creatively, and establish more efficient nervous pathway to support this movement. Moreover, future studies in this field of research will focus on the development of the movement teaching method and various educational applications based on the movement patterns and characteristics of the individuals.
