The purpose of this study is to explore the experience of applying the APIECE(Actor’s Body and Psychology, Psychological Gesture, Personal Feeling and Soul, Image Integration and Imagination, Ensemble and Improvise, Character Characterization, Creative Personality, Expression of Dance) program to improve the dance expressiveness of college students majoring in contemporary dance. In order to find out the qualitative change in dance expressiveness, 5 people with a high level of participation and interest in the program were selected, and in-depth interviews, experience diaries, and observation diaries were categorized using an in inductive analysis method.

As a result, first, college students majoring in modern dance visually expressed their imagination through the imagination of the observed object. Second, the essence of body expression was explored through continuous expression through concentration, confidence in self-movement, and visualization of space. Third, in a person whose center of gravity between me and others was shifted, the form was composed and transformed through the body. Fourth, in the stage of self-awareness through archetypal gestures and psychological gestures, it was explored that dance expressiveness reflects the body's mental attitude.
