DUTBEKI is a dance which has been most widely performed by public folks in many parts of KYUNGSANGDO. ULSAN is within the cultural sphere of KYUNGSANGDO. This study intends to analyze the motion forms of a DUTBEKI which have been performed in ULSAN district through an aesthetic approach. This DUTBEKI has been transcended from the past according to the customs of public folks. It was diversely grafted into village shrine rituals and seasonal customs derived from agriculture. As to the form of dancing, it could only be seen as a formless primitive gesture, in the process of dancing in the excess of their mirths. But it has an implicit sense of ritual. It also has politeness and stylishness. So, whenever this dancing was performed in a feast, the loud noise died away and village folks held their breath saying only 'good!' as a cheering word. Needless to say, everybody danced his own dance boasting of his own stylishness in a round circle called 'NANJANG'. The researcher has taken part in these village feasts of ULSAN district and enjoyed this dancing together with village folks from 1981 to 2018. As to the method of analysis, on the basis of this field experience and different documents, the researcher identified and sheded the light on the unique traits of flow and repetitive common motions in this dance from aesthetical standpoints. This approach will help to establish ULSAN DUTBEKI as a cultural asset of ULSAN district and give a basis for preservation and transmission of it.

This is a research of Choi, Seung Hee dance, tour of USA, Europe, and Latin America. The tour of USA research covers the first USA performance initiated in San Francisco 1938 and the second one in 1939 which had purpose of avoiding the European War. The tour of Europe research covers from January 1939 in Paris right after the first tour of USA to the performance in Hague, Netherlands. The tour of Latin American research covers from the performance in Brazil in 1940 to the performance in Mexico after the second tour of USA to avoid the Second World War. The activities in the Communist bloc in Europe after Choi, Seung Hee's defection to North Korea have been excepted from the tour of Europe research. According to Professor Jeong, Byung Ho, Choi, Seung Hee created more than 310 works throughout her life. And it is shown in her own records of conversation that she had over 600 dance work performances during the world tour. Also, Professor Kim, Ho Yeon says that there are more than 600 news articles in The Chosun Daily News, Dong-A Daily News, Maeil Shinbo during the period of Japanese colonial rule. Currently, over 100 studies of Choi, Seung Hee can be found as preceding results. Among these works, performances, recordings, and researches, lots of errors appear when translating expressions of the countries where the performance took place to our expression and when interpreting those translated materials as primary source and analyzing with our method which causes so much confusion to the research when quoting them as well. The motive of this research is to minimize those confusions. Along the process, by translating primary sources from around the world, the unification of expressions in our terminology which Choi, Seung Hee originally used was conducted as well. This research may have some omitted areas since only confirmed information in primary sources was researched. Choi, Seung Hee presented steadily during the world tour and the materials for the creation were about Korea and legends of Japan. She stated in her performance fliers that she is 'Korean Dancer' and also put her Japanese name 'Sai Shoki'. This can be understood as reflection of difficulty of the era. The fliers contain the title, music, and, in most of the printouts, the warning for the copyrights. This can be the pride of her creation and the result of an artist's rights practice. As a result, proposing the pamphlets and evaluation data of each performances of USA tour and proposing the actual repertory and contents of performances by discovering Europe tour pamphlets (Paris and Germany) are considered to be meaningful works in the history of Choi, Seung Hee research.

Hallyangmu is one of folk dances which shows social phenomena and discourses in the tradition process well. In the early days of development, it was a type of folk play that satirizes the society in each region, but as the age changed, it developed into a theater dance. Today, it is performed on stage as a masterpiece of male dancing by adding masculine fashion, excitement and acting. The important point in this systematic flow is that it has been refined as it enters the performing arts and has been handed down with its content and structure. This study focuses on the structuring of works that appear in it's stage-making process.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how nationalism has been operated and emerged in the process of establishing the National Theater of Korea and Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, National Gugak Center, and Seoul Arts Center. I analyze the records about the construction of the theaters from the viewpoint of nationalism. Also I examine how the nationalistic view had been expressed architecturally and how the characteristics were revealed in the performances. The history of the construction of the theaters was entirely led by the state during the 3rd, 4th and 5th republics. The 3rd, 4th and 5th republics, all of which had been ruled by undemocratic regimes, emphasized nationalism in order to compensate their lack of legitimacy. The ‘nation’ has worked as a very effective concept to unite the whole people into a single identity, and traditional culture as well as art have been used as the most effective means of raising national pride. As such, the construction of the theaters as an infrastructure for expanding traditional performing arts was essential, and it was actively promoted in this background. At the height of this flow, which began in the 1960s, there was the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.

As its methodology, this research investigates previous researches, related data, and conducted interviews with related as well as reflecting on my own experience. As a result, the creative Talchoom movement that took place in the 1980s has developed into the dance and pungmool that was at the center of the artistic means to grasp the ideological and simultaneous will of the young students. In the rallies and demonstrations of the 80s and 90s, there were arts propaganda group in each university'. These dances with easy and simple movements were enjoyed by many and was used as a medium to express the will and spirit of youth. The dance was expressed collectively as the structure of cohesion and eruption type, and the four-beat dance made it easy for everyone to share with one another, and flag dance was often used as an inflammatory device. The dances of the university in the 80s and 90s was based on amateurism and functioned as a social activist dance that expressed the will to resist.

Past English-language scholarship on Choe Seung-hui has focused on her world tour of 1938-1940 and her work in Japan and Japanese-occupied Korea prior to 1945. Choe’s contributions to dance creation in the socialist world have been largely ignored. This essay expands on the existing scholarship by using Chinese-language source materials to examine Choe’s career in China and its implications for the connections between the pre- and post-1945 periods of Choe’s career. This essay documents three important parts of Choe’s work in China: her development of China-themed choreography, her adaptation of new dance forms from Chinese opera, and her training of the first generation of Chinese dance professionals. I argue that Choe’s work in China was continuous despite changes in political context. The project that she began in the 1940s as part of the pan-Asianist project of Oriental Dance later transformed by the 1950s into Chinese classical dance under socialist internationalism.

This study aims at considering on Japanese postmodern dance, by researching Hijikata Tatsumi’s Ankoku Butoh, Dance of Darkness, which is known for most famous avant-garde dance of 1950s in Japan. Hijikata’s Butoh, started with Kinjiki in 1959, was an entirely new dance form having different qualities of expression from the other dances such as classic ballet and modern dance at that time of Japan. Mostly showing the experimental attempt on the stage by ordinary movement from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, Hijikata changed his performing style from his work in 1968, Hijikata Tatsumi and Japanese – Rebellion of Body. That means that Hijikata tried to make his own movement method. This study focuses on ‘Butoh notation’ as the principal reason of changing movement style of Butoh. By analyzing the existence of Butoh notations and contents of them, the research would figure out the actual relation between notation and creation of a new style.

Dance is an intangible art that disappears without a trace at the moment of performance, and it is necessary to record it for preservation, re-appreciation, and recreation of dance. From the past, the record of dance has been preserved in a fixed medium such as pictures, photographs, dance notations, etc., which capture impressive scenes of dancing and record images and texts, and a moving image that records the whole process of dancing. However, the recording by these media was indifferent to the thoughts and voices of the people involved in the dance creation. Naturally, in the writings of Korean dance history using these materials, the voice of dancers and the people who are related to dance creation are avoided. The dance oral history emerged as a methodology of dance research is based on the dancer's memories of the body, dancing, and life, and can be used as reliable date for dancers and researchers in that dancers speak for themselves and participate in writing dance history. In order to increase utilization of the dance oral history, this paper seeks creative way for application of 48 dance people's oral history transcripts produced by the Korea Arts Council in 2008 and 2009. Accordingly, three types of diagram related to the Korean dance scene in the 20th century, such as a chart for the 20th century dance educational institutions, a map of dance studios in Chungmu-ro, Seoul in the 1950s, and genealogy charts by dance genres were created.
