살풀이 춤의 미적 탐색

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to find out background of thought implied in Salpuli-Dance, analyze aesthetic characteristics and principle of movement displayed in the dance, and investigate aesthetic factors in it. First, since the Salpuli-Dance is based on the thought conceptions of Three Existence and the Negative and Positive, the dance movement reflects traditional thoughts and highlights the philosophy of dance and aesthetic value as well as movement of dance. Second, for the principle of movement, the Three Existence conception can be found in 3 factors of breathing-keeping, drawing, and releasing, "three forward and backward movement" and "three large and small movement," while the negative and positive conception can be found in the flow of dance in a curve, cloth movement in the Great Absolute, and footsteps in a circle. Third, dance movement expresses natural beauty and gracefulness through breathing, moderation controlling inner emotional feelings and overall female attractiveness. In conclusion, in order to properly inherit and develop Salpuri-Dance which is based on Korean traditional thoughts and includes all aesthetics of Korea Traditional Dances, we should study more about inner factors such as conceptual principles implied in Salpuli-Dance and aesthetic characteristics of movement as well as outer appearance beauty. This is the one way we can sustain, preserve and properly inherit our tradition.
