| SKD5036 | Choreutics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| Space or the Space Harmony is a system to look at the route drawn in the space and analyze its form and design. Laban believed that there is a harmonious form even in all the movements like music or fine art, and thought that the trace forms created by the physical movement through the effort and shape in space have formal and measurable association in the harmonious and natural relationship. The concept about the ‘Space Harmony’ can be listed such as following: - It is the inner architecture that resists and gets away from the gravity organization to build a structure supporting the structure that has nothing to do with gravity. - The movement is a manifestation of consciousness and sub-consciousness and the space makes it possible to look at and remember that. - The harmony should necessarily be in consistency, unity and balance. - The harmonious scale of the space contains the axis of direction, balance of form and natural rhythm that suit the order going on according to its form. | |||||||||
| SKD5058 | Dramaturgy | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| This course aims to understand a role of dramaturge and historical process from the institutional system of theatre the dramaturge made her appearance in the field of dance relatively late. Recently dramaturgy is emphasized as main process of art-making with collaboration and interdisciplinary research in contemporary art. It was prompted by current artistic process and often regard them as just as or even more important than the choreographic work itself. Originally the term of dramaturgy has migrated from theatre, and this appeared in late 1970s German tanz theatre represented by Pina Bausch. And it seems that more and more European choreographers and performance makers and even theorists nowadays are interested in integrating a function of that name. In this course I would like to 1) historically contextualize the rise of dramaturgy in dance through linking it with specific artistic developments since Bausch`s Tanztheater. I will also discuss, 2) in the light of many case of practice as dramaturge, some of the various concepts and approaches to dramaturgy: from outside eye(aesthetic, context) to physical(experiential) dramaturgy, from treating documentation and databases to making dialogue with choreographer. Also, 3) I will encourage students to apply choreological method which is able to analyze choreography in perspective of microscopic and contextualized. Choreological methodology is one of practice based research and it is useful to observation, analysis, | |||||||||
| SKD5061 | Somaesthetics in Dance | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| Dance is defined as any patterned, rhythmic movement in space and time. A broad definition of this sort, which refuses to distinguish between human and non-human motion. The three theories of art as imitation, expression, and form are especially useful. Also, we distinguishes between representation and expression and analyse some of the main types of symbolization or reference that occur in dance. Dances and choreographers of Baroque Dance, Romantic Ballet, Classic Ballet, Modern Dance, Neo-classic Ballet, Post-Modern Dance, Contemporary Dance are introduced and analyzed. The idea of the dance starts from Aristotle. Aristotle declares that the dance interprets and imitates life. For the soaring of the dancer through space, for the inherent beauty of this divine sport, the philosophers substitute the concrete excellences of the sign language. Aristotle’s definition is at the root of all the battles the ballet has fought from Jean-Georges Noverre, who terms it an art of imitation designed to ‘copy nature faithfully and to delineate the emotions upon the stage,’ down to Michel Fokine, who, in his turn, championed the dramatic ballet aginst the great formal ensembles, stylized and abstract, arranged by Marius Petipa, the French ballet-master who reigned for half a century over the Russian dance. | |||||||||
| SKD5062 | Dance and Technology | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| “Dance and Technology” is a course designed to inspire dance-major students to engage with diverse and dynamic technological flat forms and media. Art has been changed and re-imagined upon the development of technology, and dance has both influenced and been influenced by this technological shift. The course’s approach to dance and technology is inclusive and convergent: technology includes print, photo, film and video, computer, web, interactive media, motion-capture, IOT, and new media; dance includes art dance, non-art dance, pop culture, and performance. Thus, the course investigates not only the specific realm of ‘video dance,’ but also strict recordings of concert dance works, documentary films, media performances, web performances and so on. Overviewing these diverse phenomena combining dance and technology both synchronically and diachronically, as well as both theoretically and practically, it aims to envision the ontology and epistemology of dance in the era of technology. | |||||||||

In doing so, the course engages with the diverse academic approaches of dance teaching; for instance, analysis of dance technique, diagnostic teaching, educational psychology, kinesiology, psychology of adolescence, and social foundations of education. The module, thus, offers the students the opportunity to explore their teaching practice within an academic framework, each functioning as a problem solver, an effective researcher and an excellent communicator in various teaching environments. | |||||||||
