ABSTRACT

This study is about the relationship between contrasting traits in Laban’s effortselements and Jung’s psychological functions. Laban applied such principles ofopposition of Jung, that is, polarity to efforts theory. Efforts are divided intoaccepting trait and resisting trait. In Jung’s recognition function, sense is dividedinto strong and light movement toward weight, intuition into slow and fastmovement toward time. And in judgment function, emotion is divided into liberaland controlling movement toward flow, and thought in space is divided intomovement of direct gaze, and indirect and various gaze. Laban asserts that spirit related to movements, that is, understanding of innerattitude is crucial clues to help understanding of individual or group and it alsodoes important roles in forming harmony. Jung also asserts that when we mentionabout spirit, we have to consider the dual structure of the mind certainly andalways have to consider both consciousness and unconsciousness. In this study, the researcher described the trait of Laban’s efforts within thescope of extremely common and universal human nature. But the researcher thinksthat understanding of the most common and basic effort of human is meaningfulas basic data for understanding daily movements and furthermore thepsychological functions being implied by movements in dance art. Therefore, it is thought that we would be able to study psychological functionsin movements or analytic approaches of movement research by means of moremicroscopic study of dancing later.
