한국과 일본의 전통무용에 나타나는 남성무용수의 여성이미지 비교(탈춤과 가부키를 중심으로)

Abstract

This study aims to look into male dancers’ feminine images in Korean and Japanese traditional dances. To attain the goal of the study, the researchers made a comparative study on talchum and kabuki, respectively Korean and Japanese traditional dances. In the first place, the researchers analyzed Korean and Japanese patterns of directing with a view to looking into their separate feminine images in their respective traditional dances. In the second place, the researchers analyzed their directing methods on the basis of the analyzed patterns of directing. And the researchers in turn analyzed directing methods by dividing them into stage, makeup and costume, and music. As a result, the findings of the research were as follows: First, Korean and Japanese male dancers’ feminine patterns of directing were categorized into court dance, ritual dance, artistic dance and folk dance in both of them. Second, as a consequence of Korean and Japanese male dancers’ feminine patterns of directing being divided into stage, makeup and costume, and music, the Korean male dancers were free and informal in their characterization with no stereotyped stages, with comical makeups, and with no special costumes creating feminine images, while on the contrary the Japanese male dancers were expressing their feminine images better with stereotyped stages, with diverse facial expressions and makeups, with costumes creating feminineness nicely, and with formal and regular patterns of music and dances.
