Abstract

Jindo Drum Dance is an extremely distinctive form of Korean folk dance that is still very much alive as a performance medium and has been designated by the Jeollanam-do Government as an example of intangible cultural heritage. Current research on Jindo Drum Dance has focused on its choreography, comparing different styles and genres and analyzing specific dance movements; methodological studies on the practice level, however, remain very limited. Through a combination of visits and field studies, I have categorized and summarized the strength, energy and charm of Jindo Drum Dance from a first-person perspective, and have further investigated the cultural connotations embodied within the dance form. This paper firstly aims to promote a broader perspective of Jindo Drum Dance through integrating theory with practice and then aims to provide further references for those who study Jindo Drum Dance by sharing my own personal experiences.

摘要

珍岛鼓舞是极具特色的韩国民俗舞蹈，是至今仍活跃在舞台上的全罗南道指定非物质文化遗产。该舞蹈现有的学术性研究多围绕舞蹈学、流派差异性以及舞蹈动作分析展开，欠缺实践层面的方法性研究。笔者通过自身走访学习，从第一人称视角对珍岛鼓舞力、气、韵分别进行了梳理与总结，并对舞蹈所包含的文化内涵进行了挖掘与概括。一是希望理论反哺实践，实现自我思想高度的提升，二是希望通过个人学习经验的分享，在大家对珍岛鼓舞的学习实践中提供指导借鉴的助力。
