한국 근대춤의 문화표현적 특성에 관한 연구 : 교방굿거리춤과 최승희춤 움직임 분석을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze characteristics of movement in traditional Korean dance and Shinmuyong, creative Korean dance, from socio-clutural perspectives. In this research, I focus on "Gyobang gutkeori-chum(a Folk Cultural Treasure in Gyeongsang-namdo area)," which is the origin of Salpuri-chum and "Se-gaji jeontong rideum(Three Traditional Rhythms:choreographed by Choe Seung-heui)." that includes authentic movement style of Choe Seung-heui. In this research, I notate parts of these two dances in order to examine gestures of arms and the body be using Labanotation. In addition, I establish choreometrics, in order to analyze movement of upper and lower body. Furthermore, I discuss the characteristics of movement based of Space harmony theory that is used to understand spatial structures and Effort-Shape elements. According to this research, Gyeobang gutkoeri-chum contains liberal, active and flexible movement characteristics and Choe Seung-heui's dance presents light and vigorous mood. Therefore, these two dances represent idealistic image of modern Korean culture which also relate to self-awareness of Korean woman. Traditional Korean dance emphasizes fertility and inner strength of female body which was the ideal image of womanhood in traditional Korean society. On the other hand, Choe's dance represents sensibility and enchanting feminine appearance. However, distinctive quality of Korean traditional dance could be observed in Choe's dance which contains traditional movement vocabulary, repeated movement sequence, and dynamic and improvisational movement.
