The purpose of this research is to provide insights into the essence and value of dance education by describing the teaching experiences through an auto- ethnographic method. It is difficult to find researches on the overall teaching experience ranging from early childhood education to college education. Having experienced child dance class, elementary school dance class, and college movement class, I seek to find the desirable education and its significance for students while reflecting on dance teaching method and its meanings. Students get interested in their body parts, and they learn how to communicate and share their feelings with others through dance education. The performance experiences as a dance teacher are as follows. First, a natural culture at home or a home atmosphere has formed through learning-by-playing. Second, my first part-time class has led to my lifelong workplace and developed functionally. Third, I have found that a strict discipline in a dance class could give difficulties for students to express freedom. Fourth, a dance class that gives joy and pleasure changes students’perception of dance, makes them more interested in their bodies, and have more confidence with dance. In conclusion, I have realized that a dance class enables students to widely understand various emotions expressed by the body, discover ‘self’ through this process, and it can be developed into a means of communication to form a community spirit.

This study examines the life and art of a choreographer Akram Khan, who has a dual identity of Bangladesh origin and British nationality, and choreographed about his cultural identity through his solo work Desh. For this purpose, this study analyzes related articles and interviews of preliminary researches, books and media both in Korea and abroad, reviews of critics, internet materials, and programs. As a result, first, he indirectly enumerated the surface of his wandering identity that does not know where to go and where to stand and created relationships in expressions of various characters coexisting in that space directing artistic representation of past, present, and virtual spaces. This dualism of diaspora empathy is the core theme of the work by forming the diaspora of Akram Khan with an emotion different from that of the first generation immigrants. Second, his personal interpretation of communication and exchange with different identities in a confused culture is projected in his work through a personal story that bears two cultures, Bangladesh and England. Especially, these works have been sublimated into artistic aspects, and fused with artists, music, lighting, set, and animation in other fields with a focus on dance in the works, and created a mise-en-scene that leads to artistic trends in the 21st century. Third, Kathak that he learned in his childhood has become the footstep of his art world. In particular, the acceptance of the narrative elements and movements of the Kathak has created his own language. In conclusion, Akram Khan's "identity" is the source of his artistic inspiration, and he respects the heterogeneity of his identity from his own perspective, this is sometimes different from the that of the other.

This study, with the Nuo ceremony in Lengshuijiang, Hunan, China as the subject, discusses its cultural hybridity, shaped by dynamic interaction between elite culture of the ruling class and folk culture of the working class. The author argues that the resulting hybridity is formed through homogenizing force of the elite culture and localizing capability of the folk culture. To carry out the research, the author adopts three methodologies: fieldwork, in-depth interview and literature review. From the perspective of dual cultural framework, the author observes the dilemma faced by the Nuo ceremony in a historical and social context. Unlike the prevailing tendency of separating wu (shamanism) from dao (Taoism), by former researches this paper integrates wu and dao, thereby interpreting the hybrid nature of the Nuo ceremony. Through fieldwork, the author studies the conflict and reconciliation between the high and folk cultures as projected in the cultural hybridity of the Nuo ceremony. The analysis suggests that the Lengshuijiang Nuo ceremony is a hybrid culture stemming from the combination of orthodox religion and folk shamanism during a specific historical period. It is neither a pure high culture of the state nor a pure folk culture. Rather, it is a reconstructed “third culture”. On a macro level, the author observes China’s dual cultural framework from the perspectives of both the elite culture and folk culture. On a micro level, the authors reveals, through the integration of the wu and dao elements in the Lengshuijiang Nuo ceremony, the cultural hybridity as a result of homogenization and localization, which Abstract 298 제53호is the significance of the study.

Recently the copyright issue in the traditional cultural field is being discussed due to the copyright claim on traditional dance. The copyright norms is unfamiliar to those who are engaged in traditional cultural fields in Korea. Despite this unfamiliarity, the number of cases in which copyright law is applied to the field of traditional culture is increasing. The copyright cases that have occurred in the field of literary works such as books in the past are now spreading to art, music, and dance. In this article, I have discussed some issues in judging the creativity and substantial similarity of cultural heritage-based works through representative cases of art works and musical works related to intangible cultural heritage. The copyright system is based on the assumption that a specific author has exclusive copyright for the work. On the other hand, many cultural heritages presuppose that ‘communities or groups’ have created, maintained and propagated them, and it is not easy to identify copyright holders because their boundaries are ambiguous. In addition, in order to establish an exclusive right such as copyright, a clear boundary must be set for the work, which is an object of rights, but the boundary of the traditional culture that has continuously changed from the past is not clear. Therefore, I suggest the open source model as an alternative to exclusive copyright.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dance life history of Jeong Jae-man (鄭在晩, 1948-2014) based on the documents. This study was to lay the foundation for future studies in order to overcome the limitations of insufficient historical data on Jeong Jae-man's dance due to his sudden death and the lack of theoretical background for posthumous studies on his dance. The data used for this study was collected from research data, media articles, interviews and other materials, the research method was studied by classifying chronological order in the total form, which is the method of text analysis in the study of living history. As a result, the dance life history of Jeong Jae-man was divided into five categories: the first period ‘Growth’, the second period ‘Activity’, the third period ‘Career-Building' and the fourth period of ‘Handing down', and the fifth period of ‘Transmission'. The study is expected to provide useful academic data to his junior colleagues who preserve and transfer his dance and to serve as an evaluation reference in analyzing the historical flow of intangible culture. The study is expected to provide useful academic data to younger generation of students who suceeed and preserve and his dance and to serve as an evaluation reference in analyzing the historical trend of flow of intangible cultural assets.

This paper examines the implications of the current status of street dance in Korea, which is rapidly growing aided by institutionalization in the cultural industry and education market. This study begins with the researchers' recognition that situations requiring a clearer definition of street dance-related terms frequently occur. We interviewed street dancers from various positions to figure out the practical uses and perceptions on street dance terms. In order to illuminate the theoretical significance of the emphasis on stylized sub-genres, which was emerged as a core theme during the coding process, we refer to Paul DiMaggio's sociological study on classification in art. The findings are summarized as follows. First, various classification systems evolved as street dance in Korea transformed first emerging as amateur popular dance, moving on to cultural industry, finally arriving as professional art. Second, specific sub-genres are increasingly hierarchical, universally recognized, and ritually bordered, the pattern of which suggests a canonization. However, even during the institutionalization and canonization, street dance reveals complexities that do not fit into a static classification system.

By 1979, 95 culture and arts centers had been established, and there was an increase in the number of these centers every year from then on. In 2016, there were 229 culture and arts centers nationwide. The culture and arts centers established with the support of the government, needed the management of operation to suit local characteristics and environment with the lapse of time. To examine the operating state of dance performances of culture and arts centers, this study dealt with the performance record of the field of dance in performance halls from 2011 to 2016. Region, operator, and year were selected as demographic variables to make a comparative analysis of the trend in the changes of the variables. SPSS 21.0 was used to perform computational processing. The findings of the study were as follows: To the performance record of the field of dance in the performance halls, the total yearly number of dance performance cases was a mean of 2.6. and the total yearly number of dance performance days was a mean of 3.3. and the total annual frequency of dance performances was a mean of 3.9. Concerning the rate of paying audience in the area of dance, it stood at a mean of 15.2 percent, and was highest in Seoul. As the results, the number of dance performance days and the frequency of dance performances were low relatively to the number of dance performance cases compared to those of other genres. It implies that dance performances are given just on a temporary basis. Performance facilities that are tailored to the specificity of the genre of dance are necessary, and careful performance planning and assistance from the government are both required to ensure the continuity of dance performances.

The aim of this research is to understand the dancing culture of the Joseon Dynasty period(1392～1910) by examining dancing pictures in multi-level. The objects of the analysis are 22 pictures of dancing in royal space, 37 pictures if one counts copies and different editions. Iconography and literature research are used as basic research methods, and comparative study is used as well. Chronologically speaking, the pictures of dancing in royal space had been drawn from Jungjong(1488～1544, r.1506~1544) to Gojong(1852~1919, r.1863~1907) in Joseon Dynasty. In terms of space, royal palace is the space where the royal family and officials enjoyed dancing. In terms of audience-performer, there are only male audiences in dancing pictures from Jungjong to Yeongjo(1694~1776, r.1724~1776) but female audiences appear from Jeongjo(1572~1800, r.1776~1800). The performers in the dancing pictures are various like female dancers entertainer called as ginyeo, boy dancers called as mudong, cheoyong dancers, and even officials. In later times, the dancing ginyeo becames noticeable. It has been proven by the pictures of dancing officials that the officials were dancing in the party with a king. In terms of the way of drawing dancing, it has been started from Jeongjo that multiple jeongjae appear in one scene as if they are performed simultaneously. In Soonjo(1790~1834, r.1800~1834), dance painting accurately reflected the performance. All the dances performed were pictured. Gradually, however, during the Korean Empire, only some of the dances performed were painted. Popular dance was drawn frequently. I suggest that the importance of dance in record pictures of royal space is directly proportional to the importance of dance in real culture.

In this study, the teacher researcher participated in the dance education workshop as a learner to expand the awareness of the value of dance education. I revealed the story of my experience as a learner, and shared the principles and values of dance education found in the experience. For this, the teacher researcher participated as a learner in the dance education workshop organized by S-group and conducted a 'self narrative study' that explored my experience narratively. The principles of dance education found in the workshops experienced by teacher researcher are as follows. I was able to explore the principles of ‘community learning’ which enables people to communicate with others, and ‘active learning’ that the learners experienced and realized by themselves. The values of dance education found in this workshop experienced by teacher researcher are as follows. The experience of interacting with and others has allowed learners to develop their knowledge processing and problem solving skills while understanding others' movements, and to develop their self-management and creative thinking skills while telling their own stories. This body dialogue also allowed them to enhance their communication and community competence. Based on the results of this study, we can find the possibility of human education and competency education of dance education. We suggest the systematic implementation of dance educator and the development of related governance awareness opportunities for expanding the value of dance education.
