탈춤 춤사위의 창조적 계승을 위한 소고 - 기본무 춤사위 해체 및 재조합 작업을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This paper was initiated to find a way in which one can freely express movements of mask dance, which had been fixed since it was designated as the cultural heritage. To this end, it focused on the way of performing in nongak (percussion ensemble music)--the movements of performers are relatively free even after being designated as a national intangible cultural heritage--in order to apply it to mask dance.
 First, this study selected Goseong ogwangdae, Yangju byeolsandae nori , and Gangnyeong talchum, which have relatively many dance movements among the basic dance of mask dance designated as national intangible cultural heritages.
 Then, by analyzing the movements of basic dance in each region, it dismantled them by dividing them into upper and lower body parts just like the way of performing in nongak , and combined those dismantled movements of the three regions in various angles. In this process, it confirmed that each movement was classified based on beat, and classified and organized the dismantled movements as 'one-beat movement', 'two-beat movement', 'four-beat movement', or 'fixed movement' according to the beat. It also confirmed that the combination of the upper and lower body movements was made based on beat. Lastly, utilizing the results, this study created new dance movements by reorganizing the upper and lower body movements of mask dances in the three regions from various angles, and produced and presented a performance type of basic dance.
 Through this process, this study confirmed that mask dance performances can be produced through dismantling and recombining, just like nongak. As the process of combining the dismantled dance movements gradually became familiar, it became possible to combine them in accordance to detailed subdivided beats. In addition, it was possible to design systematic education by producing the movements of mask dance according to the level of the students. It is hoped that the results of this study will be shared with more performers, leading to systematic classes and creative work using them.
