암흑기의 기생춤 연구

Abstract

With the gradual abolition of the status system after the Gabo Reform, Gwangi, which was subordinated to the Gyobang of Joseon, was officially disbanded in 1907. In the meantime, the government officials who had been trapped in the bondage of the status of “Cheonmin” became free status, but faced greater barriers. This period passes through tunnels where most ethnic cultures are distorted and refracted. It’s called the Dark Ages. The purpose of the study is to look at parasitic education and dance that appeared in this dark situation.
 Even in the modern dark ages, the gisaengs created and operated their own gisaeng associations. However, the Japanese ordered the unification of the Gisaeng organization under the name of “Kwonbeon.” Through Kwon Beon’s education, the dances of Gisaeng, which were only performed in the court, began to be explosively introduced to the public. The dance of the Gisaeng of the Dark Ages was expanded to various genres, including the royal court’s Dangakjeongjae and Hyangakjeongjae, as well as newly created folk dances and foreign dances.
 The significance of the Gisaeng dance in the dark ages is that first, the Gisaeng’s dance stage was converted into a Western-style theater stage. Second, it contributed to popularizing parasitic dance, which was enjoyed only by the special class. Third, it is meaningful that it inherited the dance tradition of Gyobang, which has been handed down since the Goryeo Dynasty, and developed it into a new folk art.
