무용예술의 구성요소 연구 = A Study on the Composition of the Dance

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Dancing may be 1) unaccompanied by music, or even by an auditory rhythmic beat, or it may be unaccompanied by rhythmic sound of music; 2) it may be pantomimic to a greater or less extent, or it may rely wholly on non-mimetic bodily movement; 3) it may possess a formal conventional structure in part or in whole, or it may be free from rigidly prescribed convention and rules; and 4) it may rely more or less upon costume and setting, or it may dispense with all setting. By the pure dance is meant the forms of the dance which are wholly self-contained and which rely neither on music, pantomime, nor stage setting. Actual dances of this type are rare and, for the most part, esoteric; but they exemplify the dance in its simplest form. The pure dance can be studied in the more complex forms of the dance by ignoring all additional factors which appear in these forms and by attending only to bodily movement and to what such movement can express. All additions to the pure dance should enrich the art of the dance, although the more ambitious the combinations attempted and the greater the resultant complexity, the harder it is to achieve artistic unity. But whatever ultimately appears in the dance in any of its forms must be present in an artistically unorganized state in the raw material and, partly organized, in the artistic medium.
