ABSTRACT

Park Young-in, along with Choi Seung-hee and Jo Taek-won, is regarded as a central figure of Korean modern dance. This is because he had brought a new sensation to Korean modern dance and actively worked in a foreign nation, which was unusual when he was young. He has done many experimental performances, serving as a pioneer of modern dance. Nevertheless, he has never performed in Korea. He had lived in Japan, giving performances under his Japanese name Kuni Masami. Therefore, no in-depth studies have been carried out on him and his dance. This study examines his life with a focus on his early dance performances and explored how his performances in a foreign nation had been shown by Korean media. The study is significant in that it seeks a new possibility of studies of Park Young-in with a focus on his view of dance.
