초록
연우무대 창작극은 '연극 연구'의 태동 초창기, '연극 운동'의 저항 성장기, '현실 빗대기'의 전성 분화기, '현실 재발견'의 위기 개변기, '레퍼토리 활성화'의 도전 약진기 등의 시대 변천을 거듭한다. 태동 초창기와 저항 성장기에는 1인 대표체제에 의한 '집단 창작'이, 전성 분화기와 위기 개변기에는 5인 집단체제 2인 이원체제 5인 운영위원회체제 등에 의한 '공동 작업'이, 도전 약진기에는 1인 프로듀서체제에 의한 '기획 제작'이, 각각 시대 상황 극단 위기 자원 결핍을 극복하는 방책이 되었다. '집단 창작'은 연출이 주도하는 극단원 전체의 규모로, '공동 작업'은 (극작 겸)연출이 주도하는 공연진 공동의 규모로, '기획 제작'은 프로듀서가 주도하는 대내외 편성의 규모로, 각각 꾸려졌다. 이러한 창작극 개발의 긴 여정을 통하여 ${\triangle}$한국적 서사의 확장 ${\triangle}$집단적 창작의 계승 ${\triangle}$시대적 흐름의 수용과 대중적 공감의 시도 등의 특성을 구축하였다.
Original play of theatrical troupe Yeonwoo Stage has gone through history represented by (i) the development period of "research on play," (ii) the resistance/growth period of "play movement," (iii) the prime/segmentation period of "metaphor for reality," (iv) the crisis/transition period of "rediscovery of reality," and (v) the challenge/advancement period of the "active development of repertoire." "Collective creation" based on the singe-representative system was a solution to overcome difficult circumstances, crisis facing the theatrical troupe and the lack of resources in the development period and the resistance/growth period, "co-creation" based on the five-representative system, the two-representative system, the system of an operation committee consisting five members, etc. in the prime/segmentation period and the crisis/transition period, and "planning and production" based on the single-producer system in the challenge/advancement period. "Collective creation" system was operated by the entire theatrical troupe, which was led by a director; "co-creation" system was operated by performers, who were directed by a director (-playwriter); and "planning and production" system was operated both internally and externally and was led by a producer. During its long history of developing original play, Yeonwoo Stage has (i) expanded the scope of Korean-style narrative, (ii) succeeded collective creation culture to the next generation, (iii) followed the trend of the times, (iv) attempted to attract popular empathy.
