공연예술로서 무용에서 무대의 개념 = Concept of Stage in Dance as a Performing Art

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Today when kinds of dance much more diversified, concept of stage is being expanded as people's understanding of a space for performance changes everyday. Now people cast off common thinking that dance can be performed or viewed only on and through a stage in the theatrical form, and this conceptual expansion make us illuminate our Korean dance from a quite different point of view since our dance has a historical background of not having demanded a special stage, i.e., a theatre. To say within the context of dance history, people's understanding of dance began to change, at first in the circle of intelligenzia, after the appearance of theatre. and an individual's original dance, a dance to be seen and an indoor stage of a theatre were considered as general premises of a dance.
In the Western dance which has developed together with the existence of theatre after its appearance, a stage hasn't existed merely as a place for dancing. Rather it not only has exerted influence on the development of dance to cultivate special movements to capture spectators' eyes, but also has changed our concept of dance. That is, in dancing, level of dramatic accomplishment through a combination of side effects of all the mechanisms a theatre possesses as well as expressions through physical movements has become an important standard for appreciating and evaluating.
From the beginning of dance, dance has changed its performing place from street through indoors and courts to a theatre, and eventually has established its position as a performing art to take diverse forms and types. And in modern times, as we can see that various places beside indoor theatres have been selected and used as a space for performance and new dance forms have appeared, the influence of conceptual changes toward stage upon dance is clear.
