모티프 표기법(Motif Writing)을 통해 본 최승희 춤 안무 스타일 분석 -<사도성의 이야기>를 중심으로 = Analysis of the choreographic styles of Seung-hui Choe dances through Motif Writing -focused on The Story of Castle Sado

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to record and analyze the dance movements of The Story of Castle Sado(1956), a dance drama by Seung-hui Choe, through Motif Writing and to understand the choreographic techniques employed in Seung-hui Choe dances, with a view to compare and analyze the current state of the dances in South and North Koreas and to provide useful materials for investigating into the progress in the changes of Korean dances. The Story of Castle Sado is a natural color movie manufactured by the Joseon National Movie Producing Company in North Korea. This study is intended to research the movie because it is highly evaluated as a primary source for directly confirming the dances of Seung-hui Choe. As the methodologies, the present author made a phenomenological investigation into the video images in order to record and analyze the dances with a focus on the macroscopic points including the contents, visual and auditory factors of the dances and the structural flow of dances movements, contributing to the understanding of the choreographic characteristics of Seung-hui Choe dances. The findings of this study include the fact that The Story of Castle Sado employs certain forms of dances such as solo dance, duet dance, and group dance in order to express the diversion and characteristics of the elements of a dance drama. The structural points of the movements of the dances comprise the following features. First, the dances are mainly composed of curved movements in a circular line. Second, the dances both rotate and revolve around. Many circular movements go on a curved line in solo dance, duet dance, and group dances including a solo dance of Geum-i, a group dance of Geum-i and court ladies, and a group dance of warriors. In particular, the dances are changed and ended in circular movements. These features characterize the new elements of Seung-hui Choe dances and represent the dynamics of the dances. Third, the dances are not only made up of circular movements but also jumps. Fourth, movements are repeatedly followed by stops. Fifth, the choreography of Seung-hui Choe dances is presented primarily by a heroine called Geum-i, who is involved in various forms of dances like solo dance, duet dance, and group dance. The dances are joined by various other dancers who have diverse characters and stories, applied with creative music using Korean traditional rhymes and musical instruments, stage art graphically describing natural scenery, conventional costumes, stage properties from an ordinary life, and image processing. All these are combined together to incorporate the sentiments of the Korean race into the socialist patriotism pursuing after the national independence and social emancipation. Furthermore the visual points unique to image recordings are stressed since the distance between the dancers and the audience is made closer through the manipulation of camera lens. The limitedness of two-dimensional screens is overcome by a partial combination of different images before and after a dance movement.
