다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Art and science, even though they have started from the same etymology, during their developmental process each of them have evolved into different concept. However, in present-day, the inter dependency of these two fields are growing and more on going researches bases. In the field of dance, general consensus was against science and they altogether excluded it form being adapted and applied. Naturally such exclusion caused delay in adapting technology in dance. With the change in mood of society, people begin to have positive views on dance and science and further on dance and technology as well. This change of the view have brought out the need for researches on whole new field called `dance and technology`. Presently, there are on going researches on diverse fields regarding dance and technology. The typical fields among there various researches are using technology on dance notation, technology and dance choreograph, technology and dance education, use of computer on stage lighting. In this paper, I have studied these various fields of researches and bring out the realities and the degree of practicality of technology in various fields in dance. Furthermore, the study focused on well-publicized two computer programs; LabanWriter and Life Forms to defined a relationship between dance and technology and suggest a direction for dance technology. In modern day, it will not be an over statement if state that we cannot imagine a life without technology. This single fact alone shows how much we are living a life under the influence of technology. It is already impossible to be not influenced by technology. Depending on how we handle the ever-growing technology realm in our society, it can be a great asset or obstacle in development of dance. Therefore, we need the wisdom to grasp the essence of technology and apply it to the field of dance, as it is needed.
