AB - This study offers a reception-theoretical reconstruction of dance expressiveness, drawing on Jacques Rancière’s The Emancipated Spectator. Korean discourse on dance expressiveness has rested on a transmission model. Within this model, expressiveness is treated as a dancer’s attribute, realized as the externalization of inner states, and measured by summing factors. As its self-report methodology reveals, the model is completed without the spectator. Drawing on Rancière’s intellectual equality, his rehabilitation of distance, and the “third thing,” the study proposes three findings: (1) expressiveness is a relational event between dancer and spectator rather than a bodily property; (2) its efficacy is completed in the spectator’s reconfiguration of the sensible; (3) choreography’s task is to tailor the conditions of that reconfiguration without predetermining its outcome. Following Rancière’s own exemplars—the torso, Gauny, Costa—and contrasting the model with Fischer-Lichte’s aesthetics of the performative, the study offers a concept-level reconstruction of a foundational term in dance studies.
