The Arts has been revered and accepted in France, claiming the era of Enlightenment and Baroque as Classicism. This research commenced on the query that while other art forms of the 17^(th) and 18^(th) century were referred to as Classicism, it was not until the 19^(th) century that Classicism appeared in the history of dance. Therefore, the classicism presented in opera ballet, which had a flourishing foundation will be discussed in length. The first approach will be whether any factors that can be considered as Classicism in terms of the Arts arose in dance of that era. Many historians and philosophers emphasized ‘returning to the Ancient Greek; thus, stressed emulating nature, respecting rules and order under the rationality of mankind, and volunteering as a game of the upper class upon form and organization’. These factors are identifiable as a commonality in early history of opera ballet. Ballet, after the 17^(th) century, was strictly educated and controlled under the name of tradition when the France royal ballet academy was built. Accordingly, order and form was thoroughly obeyed in organizing movement. Content also held an ideal for Classicism. In 「Temple of Glory」, it includes heroes reflecting classic preferences, and dramatic themes on gods and myth, while movement was composed with a ideal portrayal of mankind by imitating nature which is comparable to Greek statues. By applying the statues’ pose and proportion onto the dancer’s body, the Greek’s tendency toward imitating nature could be reflected. Also a dual structure of ‘top’ and ‘bottom’, which was the Academy’s official aesthetic norm, was applied and followed under strict control. Thus, deducing from the origins of the Ancient Greeks, Classicism was formed in the Enlightenment, and later these accomplishments came to form the universality of ballet. In brief, the Classic context of ballet history is summarized in the table below. Considering the 17^(th) century, when the Royal dance academy was formed, as the Classicism origin, the 18^(th) century, when all became specialized and accommodated, comprises Classicism, and what formed in Russia comprises not Classicism but New Classicism. The historic context of ballet should be examined in these terms. The concept of Classicism, in reality, includes a wide scope of problems and specific queries. However, it is anticipated that based on fundamental research on early ballet, a comprehensive and diverse approach can invigorate further discussions on Classicism research.

Focusing on the dance performance by Pina Bausch featured in Talk to her (2002) this paper analyzes the role of dance and how the movement or body language evolves into verbal language in the movie, from the viewpoint of Carl Gustav Jung’s Analytical psychology, especially by applying his concepts of collective unconscious, shadow, persona, anima and animus. The analysis shows that Benigno, one of the main characters of the movie,represents the concept of shadow, as he transforms the female character Alicia’s unconscious body into conscious one. In addition, collective unconscious of people labelling Benigno’s act as offense corresponds to the concept of persona. Meanwhile, another female character Lydia’s body is matched with the concept anima, as her body remains unconscious, due to the collective unconscious of people. To sum up, collective unconscious makes Benigno and Lydia’s body unconscious, as two of them are, from the general public’s viewpoint, out of social category. The dance performances Cafe Müller and Masurca Fogo in the movie acted as projections from which they implied or highlighted the two female characters’ bodies switching between consciousness and unconsciousness. By doing so, those two performances provided the movie with a psychological structure. Cafe Müller illustrated Pina Bausch’s memories of her youth with dreamlike, eyes-closed and weightless steps, while Masurca Fogo consisted of couple dancing and lifting movements, bringing with a bright and lively impression. Unlike dance studies on Pina Bausch, this study considered how her dance performances provided psychological and symbolic foundations of the movie. It means that this study paved the way to see how differently the messages of PinaBausch’s choreograph could be interpreted and realized in other medium. In other words, this study provided a way to see her choreograph style (which contains her own notion) from different point of view, and it would make it able to see not only dance, but also the time’s characteristics, such as gender issue, social stratum, capitalism, ideology, and people’s notion from dance pieces. Also, taking human body as text, this study examined the piece of Pedro Almodovar Caballero, whose works consistently dealt with human body, from the viewpoint of movie as well as dance.

Most of the pioneers of modern dance that was developed in the beginning of 1900’s were women. And rather than showing woman’s beauty through dance, they used dance as means for solving social problems, especially for finding woman’s right. In the early modern dance, the role of men dancers was merely assisting role of doing only man’s role among the subject matter that women dancers intended to express. Under such circumstances, it was Ted Shawn(1891-1972) that influenced on improving men dancers’ position. It was from Shawn’s establishment of a dance troupe named as Shawn and His Men Dancers in 1933 after dissolution of Danishawn that he became to improve men dancers’ position. He formed a dance troupe at the farm house, Jacob’s Pillow that he had purchased. And until 1940 when his dance troupe was dissolved, the dance troupe had more than 1,000 times’ performances in about 750 cities of Canada, England and etc. including shows on tours in overall cities in the USA. And thereby, he could renew understanding of the audiences who had prejudice of men dancers. In order to show subjective men dancers’ shapes not as assistants to women dancers, Shawn showed works whose subject matter was sports, labor, war and etc. And by converting movements appearing in sports into dances, he emphasized men’s physical images. In addition, in his work, he included Christian ideas and used familiar folk music or spiritual songs to Americans and thereby obtained effective result of religious and interesting works. As representative works of Shawn, there are Kinetic Molpai(1935), Labor Symphony(1934), Olympiad(1936), Polonais (1933) and etc. Object of this study is to examine what kind of effort Ted Shawn made with his men dance troupe in order to improve men dancers’ position. In this study, the researcher intends to limit the period for examination from 1933 to 1940 when Shawn settled at Jacob’s Pillow and developed mend dance troupe after dissolution of Danishawn. The researcher is sure that study on Ted Shawn who made effort to improve men dancers’ position by forming the first men dance troupe would be meaningful for reconfirming men dancers’ position in modern dance. In order to achieve the object of study, the researcher intends to examine positions of women and men dancers in the modern dance world in the beginning of the 20th century and then argue Shawn and his men dancers’ activities and works.
