‘내면 연기’ 연구

Abstract

Naemyun Acting(Inner acting) is the acting term used only in Korea. Fact means acting in a realistic act or speech act based on a psychological acting methodology. This inner acting debate was first begun by An Chi-woon. Afterwards, Kim Bang-ok''s thesis and the debate between the two revealed various characteristics of inner acting, but unfortunately the debate did not continue. This study starts from the modernity of inner research which An Chi-woon said. We have examined how the term inner acting is connected with the modernization of Korea, how through which forms and methodologies peculiar to inner acting were initiated and maintained, and finally, through political implications. In the end, inner acting is a kind of transformation formed by neo-classicists, realist theatricians, who form the mainstream of Korean theater. Despite no mention of inner acting anywhere in the world, it is definitely a unique phenomenon of Korean theater. The political implications of the term internal acting and modernity, form and formation of inner acting, and inner acting are discussed by the neo-extremists who are the product of Korean modernization and still forming the mainstream of Korean theater. Their utility and value are exaggeratedly packed to the top of an exclusive hierarchy. Therefore, the discourse about inner acting should be expanded and deepened. This study is a fragment of that expectation and hope.
