김천흥과 김진향의 <춘앵전> 춤사위 비교연구

Abstract

The court dance <chunaengjeon> was created by hyomyeongseja for Soonjo mujanyeon(1828) which was a celebration of Soonwon queen's 40th birthday. Since then, for more than 180 years the dance has been handed down without drastic changes in terms of the content and format. This article compares Kim Cheon-heung's and Kim Jin-hyang's versions of <chunaengjeon> in order to examine some suspected changes. Until now <chunaengjeon> tradition has been made mainly by Kim Cheon-heung. Although there had been no source to except literature data to compare with Kim Cheon-heung's version, the newly discovered parasitic <chunaengjeon> demonstration video of Kim Jin-hyang provides a source to examine the changing patterns between the two versions. Comparing the Kim Cheon-heung and Kim Jin-hyang's versions, I points out a few differences. First, there is the gender difference between Kim Cheon-heung and Kim Jin-hyang. The second, although both of them lost the court as a original dancing space, Kim Cheon-heung played <chunaengjeon> in a relatively large stage such as a theater, while Kim Jin-hyang performing played in a small stage such as Kisaeng house(a Korean style restaurant). The difference in the dancing space affects the difference in the distance between the performer and the audience as well as in the number of spectators. I suggests that Kim Cheon-heung danced ornamental and daring choreography considering a large space and distance between the stage and auditorium, meanwhile Kim Jin-hyang performed bypass movement in front of a small number of audience.
