Abstract

Traditional dramatic entertainments that can be referred as 'dramatic playing in a traditional society' has been more common to people than western-style drama that came from the west even today. Because of the Confucian who basically disliked dramatic entertainment futhermore drama, drama as the art could not be established. Dramatic entertainments were done about as entertaining. The representative traditional dramatic entertainments are mask drama, puppet drama, Bal-tal (발탈. drama performed with wearing mask on the foot), Hwa-geug (화극. similar with one man gag today), comic narrative song, and shaman's drama. Drama is art today. But there are clear elements that should be taken over from the traditional dramatic entertainments, because they had been developed through a thousand years in distance or a couple hundred years in near and had been representative dramatic performance in traditional society. These items can be set as the performance features of traditional dramatic entertainments. First, the reality and deviation; Traditional dramatic entertainments are live performances so they deal with the contemporary issues of contemporary realities. Yet they give out showing off the realities for giving fun for people. Second, the form and creativity; Traditional dramatic entertainments have regular forms that have been inherited from the former times. These forms are ways of effective entertaining. However, while the performer take advantage of the form, he should show new figures for having more successful performances. Third, the fact and assumption; Traditional dramatic entertainments are held at the so-called 'Madang' (마당. a open yard) that doesn't have any stage instruments. So, when the performer wants to set a certain dramatic situation, he should have at least one factual element that relates to such a dramatic situation. And as there are no stage instruments, he can have the dramatic change of time and place and so on in free by his assumptions. Fourth, the conflict and spiritedness; Conflict can make tension that can make the progressing power of an event. It might be fighting, dramatic entertainment, and drama by the way of the solving the conflict. Traditional dramatic entertainments are get exciting through proper solving the conflict by entertaining. Fifth, the work and openness; So dramatic entertainments are held at the field where the audience is the most important that the content of the performance can be changed along with the audience situation. The openness of the performance content can make the performance successful. Today the art becomes ‘the means for people to understand the world', and drama becomes ‘the most effective tools for the human to understand ourselves and the world'. By that view dramatic entertainments like mask drama are not arts but entertaining or pleasure, because they enjoy the realities rather than identify the realities, and resolve the realities rather than perceive the realities. However, so the elements of the traditional dramatic entertainments like the features of the traditional dramatic entertainments and so on are related to our nation dramatic entertainments aesthetics further more our nation drama aesthetics that the consideration of those elements can help the our western-style modern drama that can't take root in our culture to be our era successful one, and even our nation drama.
