독일 표현주의가 한국 현대무용에 미친 영향

Abstract

This study has tried to find out the effects which the Expressionism of Germany has had on the modern dancing of Korea by observing the theoretical backgrounds of how the dancing of Expressionism of Germany came into existence and the courses of its development and the appearance of the factors of Expressionism in the courses of changes of the modern dancing of Korea. Expressionism was the resistant and revolutionary trend of artistic movements which appeared in Germany and other places around the 1st World War in the beginning of the 20th century and it affected the spirits of the times and all the aspects of the societies. Expressionism, which appeared first in paintings, was entirely different from the styles of the former expressions and was covered with irrational, metaphysical and mysterious darkness. It showed energetic activities through Die Bruke and Der Bliue Reiler formed by the young generation. The dancing of the times resisted the formal techniques and the fixed thoughts and insisted on the liberation from the forms, and got bored with the classical ballet. The theories of Expressionism, which appeared with the attempt to express the real images of human beings showing their own unaffected inner world and resisting the established orders, has something common with the backgrounds of the birth of the modern dancing. Recently, in the modern dancing of Korea, simple and characteristic images are used for the sake of the subjects of the works or explanations. And in terms of the stage setting, many expressionistic functions and accomplishments are found, and various genres of music are used and sometimes particularly composed. Expressionism suggests strongly that it can produce a different style of modern dancing in the modern dancing of Korea, and it is believed that the Korean dancers must develop new movements showing the Korean characteristics and must also have artistic abilities and systematic training in order to lead the streams of the dancing of the world. The driving force to realize the globalization of the Korean dancing is ,most of all, to study, develop and modernize the traditions of Korea further. It is necessary to make further efforts to produce a new and characteristic modern dancing of Korea by relating the breating and movements of our traditional dancing with the modern dancing so that the modern dancing of Korea may settle down in the world.
