The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between Bak Geum-seul's "Chumdongjak" movement principles and Somatics. It is also to examine the movement principles of Bak Geum-seul’s "Chumdongjak" in relation to the theory of the Five-Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Through the embodied experience in Bak Geum-seul's basic dance moves, the results of the study are as follows: First, one of Bak Geum-seul's movement principles is to enable a dancer to recognize and be aware of their body, which is similar to a principle of somatics that focuses on body awareness. Second, Bak Geum-seul's ‘upper body’ movements can be represented as Wood and Fire. Bak Geum-seul’s ‘middle body’ movements can be described as Earth while her ‘lower body’ movements can be symbolized as Metal and Water according to the theory of the Five Elements. The study suggests what happens inside of our bodies can be signaled through emotions. I hope that this study, which emphasizes the importance of expressing internal emotions through dance, may promote a healthy and harmonious lifestyle.
