Abstract
This study aims to anticipate the trend of dance performance in the post-COVID-19 era based on the concept of ‘liveness’ which is originated from contemporary performance studies, and consider necessary preparations for dance society in Korea. ‘Liveness’ has two dimensions of temporal aspect and spatial aspect. ‘Classical liveness’ satisfied temporal simultaneity and spatial co-presence. With the development of media technology, the concept of liveness has expanded to ‘mediated liveness through media technology’ and ‘mediated liveness through communication with audience’. Before COVID-19 crisis, the direction of liveness expansion was towards the ease of temporal simultaneity while maintaining the spatial co-presence. However, COVID-19 extremely limits the availability of spatial co-presence due to prevention of epidemic. Thus, in the post-COVID-19 ear, the expansion of liveness is expected to ease spatial co-presence. Additionally, it is necessary to satisfy spectatorship in order to realize the true ‘liveness’. In order to prepare for this trend, the dance society in Korea needs to invest in online studio, develop online communication skills, and select appropriate dance performance for online.
