    Korean Dance and Pansori in D.C.: Interactions with Others, the Body, and Collective Memory at a Korean Performing Arts Studio

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: KOREAN DANCE AND PANSORI IN D.C.: INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS, THE BODY, AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY AT A KOREAN PERFORMING ARTS STUDIO Lauren Rebecca Ash-Morgan, M.A., 2009 Directed By: Professor Robert C. Provine School of Music This thesis is the result of seventeen months’ field work as a dance and pansori student at the Washington Korean Dance Company studio. It examines the studio experience, focusing on three levels of interaction. First, I describe participants’ interactions with each other, which create a strong studio community and a women’s “Korean space” at the intersection of culturally hybrid lives. Second, I examine interactions with the physical challenges presented by these arts and explain the satisfaction that these challenges can generate using Csikszentmihalyi’s theory of “optimal experience” or “flow.” Third, I examine interactions with discourse on the meanings and histories of these arts. I suggest that participants can find deeper significance in performing these arts as a result of this discourse, forming intellectual and emotional bonds to imagined people of the past and present. Finally, I explain how all these levels of interaction can foster in the participant an increasingly rich and complex identity.

    3. Concept , Practice and Repertoires of Traditional Improvisatory Music Of

    - 21- Concept, Practice and Repertoires of Traditional Improvisatory Music of Korea co Byong Won Lee* The concept of improvisation, opposed to composition, has largely been developed in the Western art music tradition. Developed from a small fraction of materials of the world's music, it could hardly be universally applicable. The Harvard Dictionary of Music, for example, defines improvisation as "the art of performing music spontaneously, wilhout the manuscript, sketches, or memory ... the art of introducing improvised details into written compositions ... (1969:404),» and it goes on to state that "the great art of improvisation has been lost, since it is no longer practiced by composers and survives chiefly among organ viJtuosos (Ibid.).» What the dictionary's definition concerns is doubtlessly the Western art tradition up to the late 19th century, and the definition is inoperative in other culture's improvisatory music, such as Indian raga, Korean sinawi and American jazz. While recognizing different degrees of performer's creativity in composition and improvisation, Nett! asserts that juxtaposing them "as fundamentally different process is false, and that the two are instead part of the same idea (1974: 6). » Following a comparative study on the nature of improvisation of American Indian, Arabic, Iranian and, Indian musics, he arrives at a conclusion which rejects the dichotomy of composition-improvisation by saying that "we must abandon the idea of improvisation as a process separate from composition and adopt the view that all performers improvise to some extent (Ibid.: 1~).» The objective of this paper is neither to rebut Nettl's denial of dichotomy of composition- (1) This is a modified and enlarged version of "Improvisation in Korean Musics," Music Educators Journal 66(5): 137-45, January, 1980.

    Success Factors of National-Scale Forest Restorations in South Korea, Vietnam, and China

    sustainability Article Success Factors of National-Scale Forest Restorations in South Korea, Vietnam, and China Gayoung Choi 1, Yoonjeong Jeong 1 and Seong-il Kim 1,2,* 1 Department of Forest Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea; [email protected] (G.C.); [email protected] (Y.J.) 2 Research Institute of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-880-4765 Received: 22 March 2019; Accepted: 21 June 2019; Published: 25 June 2019 Abstract: The total global forest area is decreasing significantly, yet stories of successful large-scale forest restoration are still scarce. In the 1980s, when properly designed concepts and methodologies were absent, state-led, large-scale restoration projects in lower-income countries (LICs) in Asia were already successful. These then LICs—South Korea, Vietnam, and China—experienced dramatic forest land use changes driven by different socioeconomic and political developments, from deforestation and forest degradation to reforestation and ecological restoration. This study examines the institutional settings of each country’s restoration programs, focusing on the inputs of the external factors, their effects on the relevant action arena, and their payment mechanisms. By conducting critical comparisons between three country cases, we found that the ability of nations that had implemented reforestation programs to restore their forests was often influenced by external variables, which included biophysical conditions, local community attributes, and local, state, and federal rules. The result of this research provides practical implications and contributes to the body of literature comparing restoration cases from Asian countries, which have rarely been investigated.

    A Wild Goose Flying in the Sky – Gugak from Korea

    A Wild Goose Flying in the Sky – Gugak from Korea A principal dancer in the Boston Ballet, an honored Candidate for Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 23, a boundary-crossing cellist, and a singer whose repertoire draws from ancient shaman ritual — all walk up to the barre…. No, this is not a spin-off of that classic joke, but an invitation to attend what will surely be one of the most enthralling, exuberant and flat-out gorgeous concert experiences of 2019, when the Korean Cultural Society of Boston presents “Festival of Dance and Gugak” at Jordan Hall on Sunday, September 29th at 3:00 PM. Details HERE. Gugak, Korean traditional music is one of the great classical musics of the world (see Michael Church’s inspirational volume “The Other Classical Musics: Fifteen Great Traditions” for some other examples). If you listen far enough back to any classical music, you will find two purposes for the extraordinary sound worlds we humans create: a desire to connect with the divine, and a desire to connect with one another. This is true of ‘my’ classical music, and it is also certainly true of the great repertoire of gugak. The classical music of Korean derives historically from both the Chinese court music traditions and the nuanced regional aesthetics expressing the diverse experiences of commoners. With its roots in complex and deeply expressive shaman music, gugak’s genres include the folk-inspired pansori (epic story-telling performed by a singer and a drummer), sanjo (a melodic instrument partnered with a drum), and sinawi (improvisatory instrumental performance).
