무용교육에서 몸의 경계와 무용 체험의 의미

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning and the range of the body that is changing in the world of knowledge and decode the knowledge system of dance experience. As examining the system means figuring out how knowledge is organized and works, this researcher sees that exploring the meaning of experience is the way of decoding the knowledge system. Since dance is still holding the key position as an area of basic arts education having the body as the medium in the world of education and knowledge changing, the expressive body should be the ground of knowledge and accessibility to participation (dance experience) to form knowledge should be secured in contemporary dance education. In this context, this researcher suggests the results of this study that has examined the characteristics of dance experience as follows. In contemporary dance education, expression creates meaning within dance experience captured by one’s senses which is beyond the image of movement and pursues the body to express things as the representations of mental activities. The experience structure of the agent who experiences, feels, and reasons through mental power is dance experience, and dance experience is involved in the form of life as an agent who recognizes her own intention, not what is intended. At this time, questions arising from dance experience work as the principle of knowledge consisting of the form of life through the frame of thinking, the so-called rearrangement of experience and meaning. Dance education as consideration and caregiving for the formation of generative meaning develops by the practice of the body to express thoughts which one’s mind and spirit intend to express. Therefore, in the world of knowledge, dance pursues what one wants to know rather than what should be known, and the world of knowledge is experienced through voluntary participation (dance experience). Accordingly, dance experience does not represent the result of alteration or improvement but exists as the knowledge system by one’s senses and expression (reasoning) embracing the possibility of changing and being different.
