덧배기의 동작 분석에 의한 특성 연구

Abstract

Dutbeki, which has been transmitted from the past, is a local dance enjoyed by the folks of Kyungsangdo Province. It is a type of Huttonchum dance performed with free and varied bodily gestures. Because of different local customs existent in various parts of the region, Dutbeki dance shows distinct features from performer to performer and from locale to locale. This makes it rather cumbersome to analyze in an orderly fashion the characteristics of the dance movements. Today, with rapid changes in social circumstances, the dance has become disconnected from the life of local folks. These days it is rarely performed, so it requires an urgent attention for preservation and transmission for survival. At this juncture, my study attempts to analyze the movements of Huttonchum, which is performed in wide variations in Kyungsangdo Province. Bodily motions appearing in photographic images from the previous era are examined for systematic compilation and their characteristics are identified. I hope that this work provides a sound basis to facilitate its transmission to the next generations and thereby save it from the danger of extinction amidst the rapid progression of social change.
