고대 한국 가무백희 연희자들 의상에 나타난 무대의상 특징에 관한 연구

Abstract

The stage costume is an important visual element that embodies various meanings and symbols of the play on stage and helps actors act and create characters. Stage costumes, designed for theatrical effects, are distinctly different from ordinary costumes, and their history has evolved slowly with the development of theatre. Western stage costumes began with the emergence of powerful theater with the development of Greek theater and continued through the Renaissance until the 19th century. Since the intention of directors and designers have been emphasized, with the emergence of the concept of historical testimony, the expression of more authentic, realistic and delicate stage costumes, it has become one of important visual elements that effectively express various genres of performance and characters. On the other hand, Korean stage costumes have been very passive and narrowly developed, but the characteristics and conception of stage costumes have gradually expanded with the development of the times. Ancient play and acrobatics costumes, mainly aimed at ordinary people, primarily functional and realistic, were based on everyday costumes of male performers. Through Korea and Joseon Dynasty, costumes of royal female dancers were more colorful, gorgeous costumes and their unified group costumes were increasingly focused on visual spectacle and intended to be conscious of the audience. The stage costume has various characteristics such as functionality, aesthetics, disguise, reality, symbolism, expression, and playfulness and is organically related to various elements in the play. In the ancient times when the concept of stage costume was insufficient, costumes suitable for performance type and characteristics such as play, acrobatics, and dance were transformed and worn based on the everyday costume of the time. Although it is fragmentary, it was able to identify various features of the costume. It is hoped that the overall flow and footsteps of Korean stage costumes can be found through historical studies of stage costumes, which are gradually evolving with the development of theater and dance since the Joseon Dynasty.
