몸 기반 문화예술교육의 의미

Abstract

The Body-based Arts and Culture Education is a newly formed concept that is not in the existing categorization or classification of the arts but in the recognition of body as a common medium of the artistic forms such as Music, Dance, Theatre, and Cinema. That is an effort to find an essential element in the artistic forms and to connect each art with human body. The body is where life-ness begins. It is the reality of the mind that reflects our culture. Body, therefore, is important in Arts and Culture Education that tries to understand and create Life on a new dimension. The system of Body-based Arts and Culture Education shows a borderless integration and cycle of Body-Movement-Life. It pursues connecting Ecosystem- Life-Recovery Activities through Arts and Culture Education. Such a form of education has the qualities that are body-centered, practice-centered, life-centered, and relationship-centered. Also, it shows communications based on movements harmonious to the ecosystem. The first step of Body-based Arts and Culture Education is “body-design” as the creative ways of connecting body, movement, and life is the most important in its goal. Body-design attempts to form a continuation of a good repeating practice of order, which is harmonious to the ecosystem, in a body after the stages to diagnose problems in the body and mind and build a problem-solving plan. This bodydesign is totally based on the point of view that is harmonious to the ecosystem, and its continuation is acquired through repetition of simplicity and shinmyeong (spiritual pleasure). Body-based Arts and Culture Education is an effort to rebuilding Body-ness, that is, Life harmonious with Nature. Body-based Arts and Culture Education is an aesthetic practice to rebuild life through accomplishing creative rhythm in our daily lives.
