무용의 지역사회 교육적 접근에 대한 연구

Abstract

This study examined the applicability of community dance as community education by means of a case study based on the concept of community dance and proposed community dance as a response to the dancing demands of the times, with the aim of exploring the meaning and method of social approach to dancing as community education. Considering the function of communication among classes as a way to eliminate such conflicts and a way to strengthen the function of community education as a method, amid social instability such as the generation of various marginalized class by conflicts among classes, community dance was proposed. As a method of strengthening communication, community dance consists of creativity development and the resulting skills of solving problems in human lives. Creativity is the ability to connect knowledge with life, which is sharpened effectively through the understanding of and experience in arts. Therefore, community dance needs to maintain artistic levels, regardless of objects (age, disability, culture, education background, economic capacity, taste). Conceptually, community dance proposed in this study pursues happiness of individuals as a shared goal, weighs moral mentality as key value, and aims to cultivate emotions to justify individual desires by objective basis, with responsibility and obligations corresponding to autonomy and rights as practical elements. Community dance incorporating expectation on the salvation of social problems (crimes, poverty, conflicts among social classes) has the function of counseling and persuasion, with the attention of the community as a background. In addition, community dance for which the approach as art education is used aims to develop art enjoyment ability and creativity, available as an educational benefit or welfare at a community level, rather than individual tastes and choice. Community dance practitioners have to serve not only as a teacher, a choreographer, and a producer, but also have the practical ability for administration, fundraising, promotion and sales, and salary negotiation. The newly emerging job called dance animateur requires multi-dimensional classification and understanding on the community and citizens as well as the ability to suggest improvement or definition of a system based on an objective basis.
