공옥진 일인창무극의 전통 재창조 양상

Abstract

This thesis examines the distinctive characteristics of Gong Ok-jin’s solo performance of Changmugeuk(창무극; a synthetic art consisted of music, dance,mime and drama) in the principle of situation organization of Korean traditional folk art. Korea has rapidly and forcibly undergone a severance of tradition through the Japanese occupation ear and political conflicts. Although Koreans have tried to recover the severance of tradition, they have suffered from criticism as ‘taxidermized tradition’; on the other hand, the efforts to creatively inherit the tradition have been faced with many hardships. Nevertheless, Gong Ok-jin’s solo performance of Changmugeuk is one of the new performance styles which successfully inherit the tradition. Gong Ok-jin’s solo performance of Changmugeuk inherits the principle of situation organization, not the appearance or legislation system among traditional factors. Education methods in the Korean traditional society were not to merely follow the appearance, but to cultivate creative abilities by showing erxtemporaneousness in places or mood. Because Gond Ok-jin has this creative abilities, she is able to construct the performance depending on the level and reaction of audiences on the spot. Rather than following the 122 공언문화연구 제 26집 (201:\.2)existing story line, she re• constructs scenes according to audiences' emotion and cultural desire, Also, her performance retains the unique simplicity and a떠얹sness of folk aπ. Throu방1 exposing an empty s얹ge or basic human natαe spontaneously, she tends to break from ideolo없cal and moral and to recover physical and practical moods Although Gong Ok-jin’s solo performance of Changmugeuk is the unique style of performer herself, the reason that this style is considered as traditional is because she inherits the dynamic vitality of Korean folk art.
