The purpose of this study is to develop an alternative discourse to overcome the existing dichotomous boundaries between art/non-art and artistic actor/artistic capabilities, focusing on the field of dance, in accordance with the circumstances of the times, the boundary between art and non-art inevitably becomes increasingly unclear. To this end, the sociocultural perspective, especially Latour's actor-network theory, was used as the main framework for discourse analysis. In addition, empirical cases from dance majors and career fields were analyzed using statistical techniques such as multivariate analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance, and discriminant analysis to determine whether artistic experiences are actually producing results in developing artistic capabilities. As a result of the analysis, the main effect of experience showed multidimensional significance, but the main effect of major and the interaction effect of experience × major did not show valid results. Technically and statistically, it was found that a long dance experience was highly related to artistic competency, and psychosemantically, it was found that the internalized embodied experience of dance experience was highly related to artistic competency. By reconstructing such results from Latour's perspective again, the significance of career was redefined, the productive aspects implied by the meaninglessness of major were derived, and the direction of development of the artistic competency scale was proposed as an expansion to include translation and technology user competency.
