비대면 춤 공연에서 ‘라이브니스(Liveness)’의 주요 쟁점 고찰: 현장감과 관객성의 변화를 중심으로

Abstract

This study focuses on the online dance performance resulted from the unprecedented shutdowns of spaces which had been a prerequisite for dance. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to reveal how the audience is reconstructing the liveness of the dance in a situation where they cannot experience the dancers’ movements and the atmosphere of the scene firsthand. In this study, the sense of presence and audience are discussed as issues of non-face-to-face dance performance expressed through different types of media such as video and online. Here, liveness is analyzed focusing on changes in these characteristics. In this research, the concept of ‘real-time’, which stayed in place until the end of the experience of liveness, is changing from sharing the time when performance ‘is taking place’ to sharing the time to ‘watch’ the performance video, and the scope of communication ‘between’ the performer and the audience broadens as the communication occurs ‘among’ the audience. In case of the existing concept of ‘live streaming’ performance which means sharing content at the exact time of performance, the focus of the liveness was rather on the production of the video that could best utilize the site. In the end, the existential sense of liveness that the audience share the exact moment together on site is expanded and reconstructed through the digital media centering around the ‘emotional experience’ of the audience that they are sharing the present moment ‘or’ same site.
