ABSTRACT

This thesis aims to explore the direction for dance by introducing hermeneutics one of the great flows of modern philosophy. The prerequisites for dance to become the subject of hermeneutics are examined through the methodology of applying the hermeneutics major theories of the representative scholars of hermeneutics such as Dilthey, Heidegger, and Gadamer, to the general dance. From the perspective of Dilthey, dance reconstructs elements of human universal life through movement, and interpreters perform the process of ‘experience-expression-understanding’ and discover the specific meaning of dance. Heidegger believes that movement, the material of dance, must build truth on its own, and that when such truth is expressed through dance, the audience can interpret and understand it through the work. Gadamer emphasized that dance and audience are interpreted by communicating and understanding in artworks through the concept of ‘play’.
