Traditional art genres have been differentiated and developed as new types in a 21st century that is already accustomed to diversity. In particular, modern art was grafted to digital media to escape the negative limitations of the traditional class to enjoy something through an expansion into popular culture with de genre. As a result, the art world was able to determine how to promote this expansion, leading to a fusion and reinvention through “communication and integration” between genres. Recently, the attempt to develop a research-intensive genre has been progressing by grafting arts genres, differentiated under a paradigm called “The same starting point,” through exchanges and convergence. Particular attention has been given to grafting the characteristics of modern poetry to dance creation and performance in a fusion of literature and dance. This fusion can be divided into two types based on the intertextuality of the two genres. One is poetic dance, with the poetry-dance concept expressing poetic nature through dance, while the other is the dance scenario poem, with the dance-poem concept focusing on performing arts. Though the two concepts are not independent art genres, from the viewpoint of fusion and re-creation, they can be evaluated in terms of how they individualize dance’s deep poetic soul and poetry’s dynamic symbolism. The purpose of this study is to establish creative methods for poetic dance drama, with the essay focusing on creative process methods for three dance poems using a typed person with repose of souls through the symbolic images of Kokdugaksi Norum, which is a traditional drama, in convergence with the plot of ssitgimguk (a shaman ritual for cleaning a dead person’s soul), which is a folk ritual of sacrifice, and modern poetry. In Chapter 1, for the conceptual definition of poetic dance drama, the prior research on the intertextuality between poetry and dance will ber reviewed, while Chapter 2 will premise the creation of poetic dance drama, analyzing the story and character structure of “Lemuralia” in order to apply in earnest the relationship between a ritual of sacrifice and original art to creative activities. In Chapter 3, the essay will explore creative methods through the analysis of actual poetic dance drama. It aims to expand the arts in modern society by encompassing an emotional re-convergence with different arts genres from traditional society. In order to complete the poetic dance drama, Kokdugaksi Norum, conducted in this study, this researcher summarizes the creative methods of poetic dance drama mentioned above according to three points of view. The first is a mix between arts genres that borrow from Korean culture. The second coordinates poetic creation and the language arts within a process for broadening our understanding of the symbolic and dynamic movements of dance, body arts in terms of recognizing performing arts. The third fuses poetry with dance in combination with dynamic images to recognize the poetic soul and to identify the possibilities inherent in communication, individuality, and the convergence of arts genres in terms of creating community awareness that can be interpreted as an object of symbolic meaning.

Hallyangmu is one of folk dances, in which the original form and archetype of Korean dance have been well inherited and recorded. Since its original forms were recorded in Gyobang Gayo (1865) written by Jeong Hyeon-seok, Hallyangmu has been inherited in various forms. It was passed down by gisaeng in the enlightenment era and performed as theater dance by Han Seong-jun. Notably, it is a dance drama in which narrative structure has been well recorded. Hallyangmu, has been inherited mainly in Gyeonggi region and Yeongnam region. Hallyangmu danced by Gang Seon-yeong and Jang Hong-sim, who followed Han Seong-jun’s style, was designated as a cultural asset of Seoul City in 2014 and has been most standardized in terms of character composition and narrative structure. Hallyangmu in Han Seong-jun’s style largely consists of four sequences: story of a playboy and a maiden;of a Buddhist monk and a maiden;of a playboy and a female barkeeper; and the final sequence for resolution They make.a story with the combination of minimized unit structure and seek an open space in which the story can be expressed in movements. The characters in the dance are a playboy, a maiden, a Buddhist monk (dark faced Buddhist monk) and a female barkeeper. When the playboy is seen as a subject, the maiden as an object, and the monk as an opponent, the dance is expressed in the triangle contrast structure in which two male characters have conflicts to win love. However, the structure centers on the maiden without direct conflicts between the Buddhist monk and the playboy, and personalities and characters come to the surface through concepts of behaviors.
