기술과 무용의 융합을 통한 신체 표현의 확장 연구*: 작품 「바디 네비게이션」을 중심으로 = A Study on the Expansion of Physical Expression through the Convergence of Technology and Dance: Focusing on the Work 「Body Navigation」

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the fundamental changes in dance creation and communication structures driven by digital technology, focusing on the work 「Body Navigation」 by Recoil Performance Group. It examines the process of deepening artistic experience through the interaction between technology and the body.
Methods: To this end, the performance work 「Body Navigation」 (2008) was selected as the subject of analysis. A four-dimensional analytical framework—expansion of physical expression, reconstruction of time-space, interactivity, and accessibility—was established to analyze the technical intervention of real-time digital projection and the Isadora system.
Results: As a result of this study, first, technology maximized the expressive potential of the body by expanding the dancer's movements both sensorially and conceptually. Second, the implementation of multi-layered time-space transformed the fixed stage into a fluid and generative environment. Third, a real-time feedback structure among the dancer, media, and audience provided a multi-sensory experience. Fourth, the use of technology diversified the production and consumption structures of performing arts.
Conclusion: Based on the above results, the cyclical interaction between art and technology is restructuring the creative ecosystem of dance. This study confirms the potential for physical expression in digital environments and suggests its significance in expanding the scope of future-oriented dance education and physical activity.
