중, 고등학교 아침자습시간 활용 커뮤니티댄스 연구

Abstract

This project examines the use of dance experience for self-finding of youths as part of the school system as school culture is viewed as same with youth culture. Despite the importance of adolescence during which young people’s identity is developed, school culture requires standardized time management and uniform behaviors. To address this problem, ‘body-awakening’ dance experience, which can help individuals to accept and explore their egos in the daily routine at school, is suggested in this study. The goals of this program are ① self awareness (having time of focusing on oneself); ② sense opening and expanding (focusing on one’s body as a link with mind and heart); and ③ self expression (viewing oneself in a different perspective by clarifying personal experience). This program was conducted for 30 minutes per week, 4 times at each school. Specifically, the program was conducted in order of ① exploration of oneself, ② exploration of relationships, ③ exploration of space, and ④ exploration of energy. The dance experience was to concentrate on and observe one’s body with the aim of recognizing changes in it. Students were asked to express and share their experiences with a language of movements or behaviors. According to the program characteristics, this program was conducted once a week during the morning self-study sessions. Students participating in this program could find a significance from it in that this program would vitalize their daily life and provide an opportunity to act with friends. In addition, they were motivated to recognize and love their own bodies in the process of accepting, observing, and exploring themselves as they were, which would help them regain self-confidence. The necessity of continuing this program is emphasized.
