Abstract
A Study on the Choreography of After Beginning and Before The End+ ×


This paper analyzes the author’s piece entitled “After Beginning and Before the End”, which explores the relationship between the creation process of Chinese characters and dance, drawing upon the Tao-te-ching of Laozi. As per Laozi’s concept of ‘Tao’, all creation changes from a simple to a complex state, with a wide variety of possibilities in the process. We intended to make the rediscovery of all creation suggested in the Tao-te-ching of Laozi into a piece of a choreography by applying the minimum unit of Chinese characters and their shapes as the principle for generating dance movement. This research proposes the method of dance composition from the perspective of the redevelopment of all creation presented in Laozi’s Tao-te-ching.
