Abstract
A Study on the Modern Metamorphosis of Traditional Dance in Korea : With a Focus on Theaters ×

This study focused on the transformation process in which the traditional dance of Korea created new content and forms and wrote modern cultural discourses after the appearance of a modern theater. The construction of a theater established a modern value system including the perceptions of time and space, formation of a consumption structure, and emergence of the audience in a horizontal order. These changes happened around theaters such as the Mudong Banquet Hall, Hyeoryulsa, Gwangmudae and Danseongsa in Korea, and these spaces attracted the attention of the public through the changes of their microscopic repertoires mostly based on the traditional arts. They held values as they provided the public with aesthetic objects to be enjoyed and created a new cultural tradition through the gradual transformation of the culture. The traditional performance arts communicated with the public and moved forward by making an adjustment into stage performance arts in the middle of microscopic transformations that included the star system based on two Gisaengs of Gwangmudae, Ok-yeop and San-ok, a series story in a newspaper called "Yedanilbaekin," and long-term performance of Gangseonru.
