Die vorliegende Arbeit macht die $Theaterst{\ddot{u}}cke$ von Park seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre zu ihrem Forschungsgegenstand. Park stellt nun mannigfaltige Verfahrensweise von dramaturgischer Technik und $Theater{\ddot{a}}sthetik$ zur $Verf{\ddot{u}}gung$, damit er den Zuschauer auf die gesamten $Zust{\ddot{a}}nde$ der $zeitgen{\ddot{o}}ssischen$ Gesellschaft aufmerksam macht und auch die Teilnahme daran beeinflusst. Indessen benutzt Park die Theorie des Lachens im breiten Spektrum. So verbindet er das Lachen jeweils mit der Komik des Grotesken, des Paradoxons und der Satire, um dessen Effekt zu maximalisieren. Und die $Theaterst{\ddot{u}}cke$ von Park mobilisieren die $Performativit{\ddot{a}}t$ aufgrund der Aisthetik, damit sie die Grenzen jener semiotischen Interpretation ${\ddot{u}}berwinden$, die auf der sprachzentrierten $Repr{\ddot{a}}sentation$ basiert. Infolgedessen wird jene Kommunikation aufgrund der sinnlichen Wahrnehmung aktiv $eingef{\ddot{u}}hrt$, die sich anhand des Austausches von Energie und $Atmosph{\ddot{a}}re$ zwischen $B{\ddot{u}}hne$ und Zuschauerraum vollzieht. Darum zeigt die $Theater{\ddot{a}}sthetik$ von Park jene mehreren gemischten Merkmale, die die traditionelle ${\ddot{A}}sthetik$ der $Repr{\ddot{a}}sentation$ mit der Verfahrensweise der ${\ddot{A}}sthetik$ der Postmoderne verbinden. Indem Park mit Hilfe von der mannigfaltigen Verfahrensweise von Dramaturgie und $Theater{\ddot{a}}sthetik$ zu einem experimentellen Versuch zu Theaterformen gelangt, treten in seiner Theaterkunst eben das $zeitgen{\ddot{o}}ssische$ verdinglichte Gesellschaftsbild und zugleich die $Negativit{\ddot{a}}t$ als eine $k{\ddot{u}}nstlerische$ Kritik daran in Erscheinung. Vor dieser Folie versucht die vorliegende Arbeit nicht nur die Dramturgie und $Theater{\ddot{a}}sthetik$ von Park zu erforschen, sondern auch das daraus resultierende $zeitgen{\ddot{o}}ssische$ Gesellschaftsbild wissenschaftlich zu $er{\ddot{o}}rtern$.

Site-specific performance is always the real on-site work taking place at the site. Hence, it deals with the reality, in other words, the time of creation and formation. And it creates value and meaning through the interaction and continuous direct communication process between the performers, audience and the local residents. In this performance, the audience's status as the passive observer changes. They become the co-agent who actively lead and complete the performance through their own experience. We have examined the The Working Methods of Site-specific Performance and Aesthetics of Effect through four Korean performances ; Marie, An aesthetic experiment of site as the storyteller; Heterotopia and Urban Movement Research or Play: We Will Move Your Sofa, as performances which have Revealed history, politics, institution engraved in the site ; A Song of Mandala and Miracle, as a ritualistic site-specific performance at the historic site. Some remarks on Site-specific performance ; First, In Site-specific performance, the habitus peculiar to the stage art and the mode of reception are changed. Second, a new mode of theatrical communication requires creator and audience to have a sharp aesthetic sensibility and to change one's perceptual habit. Third, Site-specific performance can act as a demonstration for the viewpoints of political activism through what could be called a dramatic close-up effect. Fourth, Site-specific performance also has the risk of merely becoming an unfocused and scattered performance or degenerating into a pseudo-sightseeing. To avoid this, an in-depth study of the site and its socio-cultural context, and the clear motivation with which one is trying to reveal and tell from the site must be indispensable. As the co-agent, the audience should also be aware and think about what the given performance signifies today.

This thesis purposes to suggest that creative stage directors have copyright ownership and we make them create high-quality of theatre direction. Stage directors are sincere creator of the theatre stage today. We have little judicial precedents about stage directors, no artistic examination related directing. Stage directors are performers who have neighboring rights, there is a problem that they won't have the exclusive right of making derivative works in this country. Others will make creation (such as cinemas, animations, novels) based on stage expression without permission, because stage directors don't have exclusive right of making derivative works. Copyright law can't protect the concept of stage directors and building blocks of them which are drama text, actors and theatre space, because copyright law don't protect idea according to idea/expression dichotomy. The expression of stage direction is belong to five fundamentals which are composition, picturization, movement, rhythm, pantomimic dramatization that are come from Dean & Carra's work. Directors' work is to make theatrical works based on literary works. Therefore, theatrical works are derivative works which based on drama texts. Also, theatrical works are able to be joint works. In the case of that stage directors write drama text and create expression on the stage, they have to own authorship of both works. Merger doctrine should not apply theatre directors' works strictly like any other functional works because stage directors usually create noble expression which have been not before. We need shift of the definition of theatrical works which are derivative works or joint works to protect theatre directors' creativity. Hereafter, the special legal section for dramatic(theatrical) works including the flexible legal definition for performing arts should be established, and 'contract form' for stage directors should be made. Acting edition(literary works) should be published to grant creative directors compensation. I emphasize to grant ownership of copyright to creative stage directors, to encourage directors' works. Therefore, copyright law will be the support for development of cultural arts institutionally.

Under the influence of postmodernism, modern writing tends to refuse an immediate conveyance of messages achieved by linear, unified writing. Such writing does not attempt any social participation and has no leading ethics, offering diverse perspectives. It simply relies on material property ignoring the 'here and now'. This discussion depends on the sensuous immediacy of works that are pure and uninterpretable, causing the "death of author" phenomena. Although the time was late, since the 1990s, discussion and work on deconstructive theater has been executed in the Korean theater world. This deconstructive work was achieved when lineal narratives were shattered through the shocking insertion of fragmentary episodes and imagery. Moreover, such plays were shocking presentations of severance in conversation; lack of communication; loss of pride and love; and a world devastated by violence and madness. In the 2000s, such a movement helped form a new paradigm in the theater through reinterpretation and parody of traditional dramas, while drawing general attention to postmodern theater. However, as the problems of postmodern theater are perceived through study, the limit of plays with a postmodern tendency is pointed out: such plays merely display 'deconstruction'. This thesis will examine reflective thought on postmodern theater seeking "deconstruction without alternatives" and the aesthetic concept of "le politique" by Jacques Ranciere. It will also look through the overlap of images as interval-estrangement, "lettre morte", and simulacre representing mise-en-scene aesthetics weaving "political writing". This study is meaningful in that it tries to extend the new aesthetic horizon of Korean theater, examining in 2009 and by Koh Sun-Woong in 2011, directed by Park Chung-Hee in 2010 and directed by Park Keun-Hyung in 2009.

A note is makeup system from ever performances here, 'what kind of adaptation must be a corresponding type of costume should be worn.' This stance to 'type of person's identity and faced the scene correlated' with the actual performance tradition plays out is going and, while here the rules to capture the opera's on the character of 'identity and the circumstances under clothing' is defined. This position discussed previously 'Formalism' in line with the will he perform, and looks to meet the elements of production. This basic stance is clean up, while 'Old Beijing Opera costumes costumes taxonomy largely' literary costume' and 'militant outfit' into two groups divided over throughout steamroll surgery, because surely need to have a more systematic classification. The classification system was established as 'Part 1. Mang, Part 2. Pi, Part 3. Xi, Part 4. Kao, Part 5. YI'. In addition to these classification systems, as well as the aforementioned 'object theory' Given the symbolic significance of the capacity to keep in mind is necessary. Costumes conduct, character, situation, atmosphere and so the transport of charged symbols here, a target symbol of the system is the projection of water. This costume is detrimental to the mall for the positionsay, but I kept in mind damwongeolyi internationalization of Chinese culture. when you see the view from the perspective of semiotic systems for the sign, that the theater is necessary to complement.

This study examined the applicability of creative drama to a social competence program for poorly accepted(socially at-risk) elementary school children. The subjects were 40 $2^{nd}$(n=20) and $5^{th}$(n=20) grade children. The experimental group(n=20) participated in a social competence program that included 18 sessions of the creative drama activities during winter vacation. The Peer Rating Scale, the Peer Competence Scale, and the Quality of Friendship Scale were administered as pre- and post-test. Covariance analyses showed no differences between experimental and control groups on peer competence and quality of friendship, but the children who participated in the program showed some differences in total scores and sub-areas on quality of friendship by grade and level of peer pre-acceptance.

This paper describes dramatherapy with a bulmina nervosa patient. She was in her early 20s and has been under the various psychotherapies for cure of deep depression since 2005. We had 24 sessions and 3 persons - the patient, the therapist, and the assist-therapist- participated in dramatherapy. I found there's a big collision between her important roles in the course of initial interview and diagnosis. Those roles are 'a good daughter of mom' and 'an independent adult'. Therefore I defined her bulmina nervosa as 'an symbolic behavior repeats compulsively the failure of separation from her mother.' And I set the general goals, the separation from her mother, the awareness and expression of negative emotions, and the diminuation of overeating and vomiting. To attain these object, we had many different dramatic experiences in dramatherapy. We made a self-portrait, the mask of bulmina nervosa, family sculpture, figure work, the past I and the present I, psychodramatic scene and several stories. In order to objective assessment, I used behavioral observation and 6PSM(6 Pieces Story Making) analysis. First of all the most noticeable change was a rapid decrease in over-eating and vomiting. Before the dramatherapy she had overeaten 30 times per week. At the closure it has fallen off to 1 time per week. Another behavioral changes were shift of outward appearance, not going church, working for living, and having a date with only one. She made 3 stories on 1th session, 13th session, and 23th session. And I comparatively analysed those stories with both qualitative and quantitative method. For qualitative analysis, I classified 5 structures according to the substantial similrarity. On protagonist structure, there's no difference. Three protagonists are dead things. The type of task structure is changed from an escape, a traveling, to metamorphosis. The type of obstruction structure is changed from the protagonist to an outside object. The type of closure structure is changed from an exaggerated happy ending, sad ending to probable happy ending. To quantitify the aspects of transformation, I developed an assesment tool using likert scale. It is composed of 4 sub-categories-reality testing, imagination, ego-strength, optimism problem-solving. In reality testing category, a shift of score was 9-11-15, imagination 2-5-5, ego strength 3-2-2, optimism 6-3-7, and total score 20-21-29. This change of score reflects the growth of problem solving capacity. Viewed in this light, dramatherapy with this girl was successful on the whole. The thing had significant effect on it was psycho-dynamic approach focused on separation from her mother and defence mechanism to avoid negative emotion. And assessment method used in this case will be full of suggestions to researches to come.

Die heutigen Experimente, die seit fast 20 Jahren in den Theaterbereiche $durchgef{\ddot{u}}hrt$ werden, sind so verschieden, $da{\ss}$ wir gar nicht voraussehen $k{\ddot{o}}nnen$, wieweit sie ihre Grenze mehr erweitern werden. Sie brechen alle vertrauten theatralischen Konventionen, ob diese Konventionen mit Text, Schauspielkunst oder Raum usw. zu tun haben. Und sie fragen sich selbst, was Theater in der heutigen simulierten Gesellschaft bedeuten soll. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht anhand einigen $Auff{\ddot{u}}hrungen$, die von solchen Selbstbefragen ausgehen, wieweit sie sich von den tradtionellen Theaterabeiten entfernen und welche neue $Theater{\ddot{a}}sthetik$ sie herzustellen versuchen, um der $gegenw{\ddot{a}}rtigen$ Gesellschaft, besonders nach 1990 Jahre, zu entsprechen. Nach dem Zusammenbruch des Ost-Blocks hat sich die Welt radikaler denn je $ver{\ddot{a}}ndert$. Durch die $revolution{\ddot{a}}ren$ Technologien wie Mobilfunk und Internet verwischen sich die Grenzen zwischen Wirklichkeit und Fiktion, zwischen Original und Nicht-original mehr und mehr. Die letztliche globale Finanz- und Wirtschaftskriese hat die ganze Welt in Schockzustand versetzt, aber man scheint bei den verschiedenen Schreckenzeneraien und den negativen Meldungen daraus noch keine "Lehre" gezieht zu haben. Die Experimente, die in dem Bereich der zeitigen Theaterarbeiten gewagt werden, sind die Versuche, die Theater selbst macht, um eine den radikalen gesellschaflichen $Ver{\ddot{a}}nderungen$ entsprechende neue $k{\ddot{u}}nstliche$ Aufgabe zu suchen. In dieser Arbeit $m{\ddot{o}}chte$ ich sie, $ant{\acute{i}}-theatralische$ Strategien nennen, weil sie jenseits der konventionellen theatralischen Arbeitsweise liegen. Diese $R{\ddot{a}}ume$, wo solche $Auff{\ddot{u}}hrungen$ gespielt werden und $nat{\ddot{u}}rlich$ auch den Zuschauerraum $einschlie{\ss}en$, sind, die $R{\ddot{a}}ume$ des Abwesenheit und des Abweichens,,, weil sie dem $gew{\ddot{o}}hnlichen$ Wunsch des Publikums, alles zu sehen, entgegenkommen. Sie fordern dem Zuschauer, der auch zu ihren wichtigen theatralische Element $geh{\ddot{o}}rt$, $da{\ss}$ er an ihren $Auff{\ddot{u}}hrungen$ mit den ganz anderen Sichtweise als den ${\ddot{u}}berlieferten$ aktiv, teilnehmen, $mu{\ss}$. Sie wollen ihre $Auff{\ddot{u}}hrungen$ zu den $Erfahrungsr{\ddot{a}}umen$ machen, wo der Zuschauer ${\ddot{u}}ber$ sich und sein eigenes Leben selbst reflektieren kann, indem er die wahrgenommenen Ereignisse zu seinen eigenen Erfahrungen $zusammenf{\ddot{u}}gt$. Dadurch wird die Dichtonomie zwischen den Sichtbaren und den Nicht-Sichtbaren $entsch{\ddot{a}}rft$.

This paper attempts to research on the new language in the directing of Ara Kim. She was cranky on working on the stage to experiment with her own style since the 1980s and so opened a new dawn in modern Korean theatre. She leaded the Korean experimental theatre. The background of this experiment is her idea on theatre. And here, we have to look the subject that she setted for the work in Chuksan: Ritual Past, Ritual Present. To her, the theatre has the function of ritual and fest. The theatre suggests universal tragedy given to human as natural life force and has its own agenda to drive people to healing. For it, Ara Kim explores archetypal forms and languages before the fragmentation of genres of art. Her theatre shows the results of experiments in which such languages are recreated with modernized sensibilities. We here, for example by outdoor performance in Chuksan Human Lear, try to interpret the aesthetic principles that body out her ritual theatre. And what we looked at though, is the base of the 'complex-genre-music-theatre', the methode to 'compose' the stage elements and put it all together. The directing of Ara Kim has, in terms of the composition of the stage elements, much of the indisputable artistic value. Her theatre is, so to speak, theatre of image, and it is theatre of imagination that completed by the audience's imagination. Human Lear which has its own characteristic in image fragments, convert the original Lear into a simple tale. It serves as background of the modern ritual that shows the most basic human instincts. We meet in Human Lear a ritual tale with some list of image for the human instincts. The arrangement of image, the montage of scene shows the performance as a kind of artistic space. In Human Lear the space is the natural one. It centers around the arena stage. The objects installed in the space changes it into the laboratory for 'seeing' the happening. The spectators see the performance and at the same time see themselves in the nature laboratory. They see, and equally, they are visible objects. They see the performance and us in the space in which the performance takes place. That is what Ara Kim with her modern ritual really aims. That aim is to this days still in effect. It is a major driver of her experiments to extend the boundary of the theatre. The ritualistic site-specific performance in Akor Wat, Cambodia, A Song of Mandala is the latest great product from her experiments. On the other hand, she continues on her way to experiment with pure stage elements. The 'Station' series(Station of Water, The Station of Sand, The Station of Wind) she recently showed are the non-verbal performance with all the stage elements: movement, sound, body, light, colour, objects and so on.
