This study proposes a metaverse-based educational platform and a future dance-centered learning environment equipped with advanced technology. It aims to develop digital competencies through process-oriented learning, incorporating understanding, creating, and analyzing dance. The research primarily relies on a literature review, along with scenario planning-based PSTE analysis, and the Futures Wheel method to explore scenarios related to the implementation of the dance space “Dance Mechatropolis”. As a result, four key scenarios were identified: Metaverse Digital Anomie, Metaverse Digital Tutoring, Decentralization of the Digital Generation, and Metaverse Collaboration Architecture. These scenarios provide direction for future school education and help anticipate emerging trends. Future dance-based education based on metaverse is expected to go one step further to customized education innovation and provide insights into intelligent holistic learning management and personalized optimal learning services.

This study analyzes the structural and characteristics principles of the ‘Basic Dance’ established by Kim Paik-bong. As research methods, I conduct archival research, oral histories from in-depth interviews, and an embodied observation analysis based on practice-based research. As a result, I illuminate the background of the formation of the format and the foundation of the structural system, and classify the structural principles with seven elements to identify the characteristics. ‘Kim Paik-bong’s Basic Dance’ is a ‘technical system’, ‘movement principle system’, and ‘shaping principle system’, which can be defined as the typicality, identity, and uniqueness of Kim Paik-bong dance, a latent creative concept and principle. Therefore, the Basic Dance of Kim Paik-bong is the cornerstone of creative repository in identifying and preserving her artistic world. As the foundation of her art form, it will present the ideal of recreation as a ‘prototype’ and ‘example’.

This study aims to identify the artistic sociological aspects of Choi Seung-hee’s dance philosophy by comparing and analyzing it with Arnold Hauser’s theory of the sociology of art. As a research method, I analyze Choi Seung-hee’s magazine article, focusing on “The Korean People and Dance”, and examine conceptual similarities with Hauser’s theory. The findings reveal strong correlations between the two theories, particularly in the historical and social natures of art, the concept of alienation, the dual structure of popular and fine arts, and the critique of formalism. Considering the socio-cultural context of the 1930s, this study suggests that Hauser’s theory may have influenced Choi Seung-hee’s dance philosophy. This research presents an integrated approach combining practice and theory and emphasizes the need for further in-depth studies on the sociological aspects of Choi Seung-hee’s dance philosophy.

The purpose of this study is to explore the ethical situations that field workers can face in dance art work with AI, especially focusing on the 'body alienation' situation of dancers. The study focused on literature research on AI and body alienation, semi-structured one-on-one phone interviews involving engineers and dancers who have experienced related work in the actual field, and structured one-on-one written interviews involving choreographers. As a result, we discovered situations and types of body alienation that can occur, such as ‘human body instrumentalized for AI learning’, ‘body alienation due to differences in performance capabilities between humans and AI’, and ‘body alienation due to capital and power’. The body alienation that can occur at this time includes not only issues of portrait rights, intellectual property rights, and copyright, but also personal privacy, labor alienation, psychological alienation, and biological alienation. It is expected that this study will be used in various ways as a basic study examining ethical factors that should be considered in the workplace of dance art using AI.

This study aims to improve the Performing Arts Archive Platform 'Byeolbyeol Stage' operated by The National Theater of Korea Museum of Performing Arts into an archive web service that reflects the characteristics of performing arts. To this end, I examined the current status of the museum's archives and accumulated information resources and derived the problems of 'Byeolbyeol Stage'. To improve the website, the digital curation strategy derived from the literature study was applied to 'Byeolbyeol Stage' and a relationship visualization and record linkage service plan was devised to suit the characteristics of performing arts. The proposal was made in consideration of the flexibility and ease of use of users who use various archival web services centered on performing arts.

This study aims to reassess the distinctiveness and competitiveness of the Jeonju Daesaseup Festival, a traditional Korean music competition, and explore the utility of its various contents. To achieve this, the research analyzes the Daesaseup Festival evaluation sheets and observations of the competition and performance venues. The results of the study are as follows: Firstly, it is necessary to introduce differentiated competition categories and performances, as well as seminars for storytelling, folk music, dance, archery, and poetry, which are integral parts of the Daesaseup Festival. Secondly, historical sites such as Unhyeongung Palace, Jeolla Gamyeong, and Hanok Village can be transformed into tourist and cultural zones by integrating them with the competition and performances. Thirdly, the system of citizen judges should be adjusted to reflect a fair balance of gender and region. Reevaluation and careful management of the selection and operation of judges are necessary to ensure the fairness of the competition, and expansion of meticulous post-appointment management programs is also required. This study places significance on the historical aspect of the Jeonju Daesaseup Festival and its distinctiveness compared to other traditional art competitions.

The Jeonju Daesaseumnori National Competition has a history of more than 300 years that originated from ‘Jeonju Tongincheong,’a contest established during the late Joseon dynasty. Despite the competition’s long history and tradition, it remains under-researched. Therefore, this study analyzes “Jeonju Daesaseup Dyeon”, one of the planned performances of the Jeonju Daesaseumnori Preservation Association. Based on the performance report of “Jeonju Daesaseup Dyeon,” the problems with this performance were identified and a revitalization plan was developed as follows. First, since the proportion of duplicate performers during the four-year performance accounts for more than 50%, opportunities for new winners to participate should be expanded. Second, since there are many fragmentary promotional activities, strategic promotional marketing and customer management are required. Third, since the similar performance content and format were repeated, improvements in the content of performance are necessary. It is difficult to generalize our recommendations based on only one case study. However, this study is important in that it offers insights on how to develop and revitalize the Jeonju Daesaseumnori Competition.

Jeonju Daesaseupcheong(Jeonju Traditional Culture Building), founded in 2021, introduces a permanent performance system and presents traditional art performances every Saturday. With the annual number of visitors to Jeonju Hanok Village currently reaching 10 million, if the Jeonju Daesaseupcheong's permanent performance for tourists is activated, it will have infinite potential as a traditional art content and will become an unrivaled performance. This study has examined the current status of permanent performances on Saturdays and sought ways to enhance them based on a SWOT analysis of the Jeonju Daesaseupcheong’s performance report and Steering Committee’s activities. The results of the study are as follows. First, a promotional marketing strategy needs to be designed, targeting tourists in Hanok Village as main audiences for traditional art performances. Second, pansori-based Changgeuk(Traditional Korean opera) can be developed into a permanent performance repertoire. Third, a development of participatory content creation is suggested to encourage local residents’participation. This study makes some important contributions to suggesting the operational directions for the permanent Saturday performances of the Jeonju Daesaseupcheong.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of ‘Playing Metaverse Meta夢’ which is an ecological environmental arts education class incorporating a metaverse platform, on elementary school students' learning reality and active learning. Eleven elementary school students in the sixth grade from “A” Elementary School in Chungbuk were selected as the participants of the study and a single group pre-and post-design was used as a research method. This class was held for a total of six weeks from April 18 to May 23, 2023, for 90 min once a week. In terms of data processing, corresponding samples t-test and ANOVA were conducted through SPSS 21.0, and the significance level was p<.05. As a result, there were significant improvements in both learning reality and active learning. The study confirms that integrated art education contents using a metaverse platform, termed as ecological environmental art education, can increase elementary school students' learning reality and active learning.

This study analyzes William Forside’s Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, Reproduced from a geometric perspective. This dance is a digital work presented through an online platform, which combines various fields to produce 20 objects. The work uses geometric forms to express dancers’ movements and spatial interactions in various ways. In our study, the interaction and fusion of art and geometry are explored by analyzing the dancers’ movements by means of geometric shapes such as points, lines, and planes. It analyzes how various patterns and structures are formed in space when dancers pass each other or make synchronized movements. Therefore, this study contributes to geometrically analyzing and understanding the dancers’ movements and their uses of stage space by combining dance and geometry.
