AB - This article explores Cho Taeg-Won’s dance performances during the wartime period. As the first male dancer in colonial Joseon, Cho trained in modern ballet for five years under Ishii Baku, who was widely regarded as the creator of Japanese modern dance. He also created many Korean dances, presenting them as modern art on tours he performed throughout Joseon with his troupe. In analyzing his 1938 global tour, this research explores his influence in exposing the world to the Oriental male body through Korean dance. His encounters with imperial culture in the 1940s drove him to expand his performances to include Japanese dances such as his “A Song of Remembrance for Buyeo.” Throughout his career, Cho benefitted from the cultural power of Ishii Baku, which allowed for his long-term and repeated tour performances across Joseon, Japan, and Manchuria. Yet, rather than capturing purity and autonomy as a dancer, Cho imitated the masculinity of the Ishii Baku-led empire while transferring Korean dance as a subcategory within an ethnic dance world centered on Japan.
