컨템퍼러리 댄스에 나타나는 자기 변형(self-transformation)의 특성에 관한 연구 - 프란시스 스파샷의 이론을 중심으로 -

Abstract

Francis Sparshott explains how dancer’s body can deviate from social being and be given the artistic value through the concept of self-transformation. It is the specificity of dance that enter into the sacred area beyond everyday life through self-transformation. It seems to have limit, however, that explains contemporary dance with his concept of self-transformation that is transformed into the specific role or sacred being. Therefore, this study presents that the value of dance is not only sacredness given through the self-transformation but also the process of showing human through anonymous body. Dance had been valued highly by it’s sacredness and beauty which gained through self-transformation but it is time to evaluate it by new point of view. The result of self-transformation in contemporary dance is the anonymous body which earned by separating from the purpose of everyday life and through it dance gets originality instead of sacredness. It is the new value in contemporary dance to show a different world through an unfamiliar body to audience as a ‘realizer’ of hidden side of human being, not by depending on disguised skill for the illusion of beauty.
