접촉즉흥(Contact Improvisation)무용의 교육적 가치와 순환구조에 관한 연구

Abstract

The pace of changes in all disciplines is accelerated to respond and adapt to radical social changes in the 21st century. Dance education is no exception to those changes. Dance education has been treated as a professional education that selective few receive as non-major or that special groups to be professional dancers can get. There have been significant changes in dance art during last decade: increased interactivity due to emergence of new media, pursuit of interactivity through leveraging digitalized multimedia in dance discipline, blurring and collapse of disciplinary boundaries due to disintegration of genre striving new communication, de-authoritarianism and inducing audience participation by narrowing the distance between audience and dancers, narrowing the distance between audience and dancers by utilizing every space as stages and so on. Under the logic of deconstruction and reconstruction, those changes in dance arts are rapidly flowing to somewhere else. Today, it does not make any sense to differentiate pure arts from popular arts. Arts and everyday life coexist today. In this context, dance art seems to be making a huge progress. In the 21st century, cultural competitiveness has emerged as a significant agenda and it is required that artists and creators in art fields have innovative mind based on imagination and creativity. The purpose of this study is divided in to two category; First, identifying implications and educational values of contact improvisation. Second, formulating a model of recursive structure of contact improvisation based on the author's teaching experience in the educational field.
