초록
Since the early 1960s the South Korean government has tried hard to promote its cultural heritage abroad. The degree of success with which performances of Korean traditional performing arts have been staged has increased, but in their efforts to reach audiences both performers and the organisers have had to make all kinds of adjustments. While some of these were practical, others reveal that organisers and audiences have expectations and preconceptions that may be considered both driving forces and obstacles. In this article I discuss the ways in which the staging of Korean traditional performing arts in the West has been approached and discuss the main issues faced.
Abstract
Since the early 1960s the South Korean government has tried hard to promote its cultural heritage abroad. The degree of success with which performances of Korean traditional performing arts have been staged has increased, but in their efforts to reach audiences both performers and the organisers have had to make all kinds of adjustments. While some of these were practical, others reveal that organisers and audiences have expectations and preconceptions that may be considered both driving forces and obstacles. In this article I discuss the ways in which the staging of Korean traditional performing arts in the West has been approached and discuss the main issues faced.
