Aesthetic Features of Contemporary Dance : A Study on the Corporeality Revealed through Deconstructive Narrative

Abstract

In the contemporary era, the dance arts no longer adhere to a representational mode. A work is not a carrier of a story, and the dancers act out the existence, rather than represent characters and situations. If contemporary dance no longer depends on the narrative, what is the reality of the thing that communicates through the contemporary dance arts, flows between the performer and the audience erasing the boundary, thereby mutually changes the subjectivity of the two parties? What is displayed in the contemporary dance is the corporeality of mind-body unity contained by the existing individuals. This study aims to add the thickness of thought through the literary study based on art history and philosophy regarding the above questions and answers. Gilles Deleuze, who focuses on the artistic works with the contemporary sensibilities, says that contemporary art as ‘the block of sensation’ outside of the representational system directly provides the tangible attribute of intensity, thereby revealing the real. In dance that does not represent something else, the dancing body itself is the part of the material universe. As a part of the reality is the reality, the dancing body is the reality, and dance is the movement itself of reality. As Deleuze says, if contemporary art is the transcript of the real that emerges from the gap created by the dislocation from the representational system of the phenomenal world, contemporary dance is the most direct mode of the contemporary art. Diluting narrative, a dance with the corporeality is something the real itself, that cannot be captured by the linguistic dimension.
