후기 구조주의 관점에서 바라본 무용예술 공간의 변화와 춤 이미지의 의의

Abstract

In today’s modern society, space no longer refers to an objective, infinite and empty space but is an object experienced based on concrete behavior and exchange, and the perspective has changed as a relational space which is contextualized with the connotation of dynamics and sustainability. This study intended to expand the limited perspective of theater dance and call public attention to the meaning and value of the stage space, by considering the modern space as a potential image space and an interpretable text space whose meaning is constantly produced by people, and by approaching this meaning through reflecting onto the stage space. This study aims to have a new understanding of the meaning of a modern space from the perspective of arts of dancing and clarify the artistic meaning of dance images represented in the process of performing it on the stage, by not only paying attention to the concept of heterotopia as a counter-space told by Michel Foucault as a space discourse of post-structuralism as well as the concept of space production supported by Henri Lefèbvre viewing the space as a dynamic space with constant appearance and disappearance and a reflection of social relationship, but also by applying them to the works. The arts of dancing has been changing its expression method according to the change of time, opinion of artist and public taste. Today, it is required to study regarding the way of realizing works of dance as a base of constant reproduction and re-creation, reconsider the meaning of stage space where the audience meet the works of dance, and find the multidirectional approach way to express space in the works of dance. This study intended to understand the significance of stage space as an infinite potential space and find the artistic meaning of dance images leading the changes in the stage expression space based on the space concept of post-structuralism. The dance images expressed in the work creates a space through the expansion of movement in the process of combining with stage expression elements and the movement is created again in the expanded space. This is considered the changes of stage space concept as a relational space with mutual circulation. Furthermore, it is expected that the creative act of dance images expressed by the movement will make the stage space sustainable as a space producing incessant meanings and values, away from the limited conventional perspective of stage space.
