Abstract
Examination of Functional and Artistic Elements of Shamanic Ritual Inherent in Dosalpuri dance+ ×


This study aims to identify and analyze the structural elements of the Dosalpuri dance by exploring its intersections with the spiritual and artistic aspects of traditional shamanistic rituals, thereby enhancing the understanding of the foundational framework and value of traditional dance. To this end, the research investigated the value and characteristics of the dance based on literature and video materials, examining the embedded spiritual and artistic elements of shamanistic rituals through themes, costumes and props, rhythm, and dance movements. The theme of dosalpuri encompasses the psychological and religious significance of invoking and treating spirits well to obtain blessings, encapsulating the archetypal form of shamanistic rites through play and resolution. The white costume, resonating with grief and secrecy, symbolizes the prevention of misfortune, and the 3-meter-long white scarf is interpreted as the pathway from the divine time to human time. The rhythm retains the traditional patterns used in the Gyeonggi Dodang-gut [Gyeonggi Province shamanic ritual]. The dance movements include daruchigi, mokjeotnoreum, and yongsawi, adhering to the formats of inviting, entertaining, and sending off spirits.
