The purpose of this study is to analyze the narratives of dance documentary film Dancing Beethoven (2016) and to see what aesthetic discourse can be elicited by using “documentary film” expressions. To achieve it, I examines the characteristics of dance documentary films within the context of dance film theoretically and the narratives in analytical methods. Specifically Dancing Beethoven is analyzed in three aspects: “objective subject”, “composition method” and “photography and editorial methods.” The three analytical axes span the historical and expressive aspects of documentaries and cinematic arts, while penetrating the layers of images and stories in the dance. The find this study, The film is not just to simply recording dancing, the film was re-contextualizing dance with cinematic techniques. In addition, various shorts and angles were used to capture the dynamics and spectacles of the dance, and it is observed that the dance text is expanded through editing process using images both inside and outside the stage.

This study explores the self psychological factors of Korean dancers effecting a competition result. For this purpose, this research analyzes the relationship between dancers’ inner-external psychological factors and being one of the winners. Firstly, as internal factors, competition winners have realized that technical/physical exercise and the dance are closely related. And for that they have carried out those two together. They also did image training to be deeply absorbed into their work, and this has resulted in them to take the stress and slumps positively. Also, choreographers and dancers maintained friendly relationships. Secondly, in the matter of an external factor, it is found out that competition winners also feel insecure. However, this anxiety appears to be focusing on their position rather than focusing towards their competitors or the list of orders. As a result, we need psychosomatic training and counseling programs which offer competition participants a positive outcome of their competition.

The purpose of this study is to examine the archetypal movement and quality of the dance of David based on its texts and contexts in the Bible. This primarily aims to lay a foundation for the science of Christian dance theory. The discussion has developed through linguistic study on the terms Pajaz, Karar, Raqad, Sachaq to understand the structural aspects of David's movement. Also, the qualities of the movement connoted in the selected texts were analyzed by Rudolf von Laban's effort theory. To sum up, this study has demonstrated several things as follows: the form and the movement structure of the Davidic dance in the biblical description mainly consist of leaping and whirling, actively using lower part of the body. The qualities derived from the efforts has turned out his dance to be joyous and enthusiastic festival mood.
